It will probably stick out a 1/2 to an 1 inch, but not too much. BFH might not be needed w/ this backspacing.

There are members here that run those wheels w/those backspacings. I've seen pictures somewhere in this forum. Im sure someone will chime in with some pics. They look okay to me.
I run the 15x10 7.5" bs w/MT 325/50 drag radials and had to do some BFH inside wheelwells. Check video below in my sig. just to get an idea how it looks. Hope this help some.
