Cool 4" backspacing

the site that im ordering my wheels off of only does the least 4" backspacing on the soft 8 wheels, i want the wheels to stick out i think it looks good, will 4" do the trick or should i look for 3.75"

4"s actually works better than 3.75. I currently have a 3.75 and plan on changing to a 4". 4"s sticks out more than the stock 5" but stll allows the tire to tuck up into the fender.

he's wanting the tire to not hit the fenders at full flex. IMO bump stops would be the cure for that.
