Why would offset be an issue for a stepside? Just narrow a pair of fleetside wheel tubs to 6 inches and put them in the bed. That will allow you 18 inches between inner fender lip and the frame!

I dont have a stepside, its a fleet. My worry is outside edge of tire rubbing the fender. I think 15x8 may be a better fit.

Sorry! Thought yours was a stepper. Lots more room under a stepside fender if you add the fleetside wheelhouses in the bed. In the photo the end of the tape you can't see is against the frame. That still gives 20.5-13 =7.5 inches from the mounting face of the wheel to the inner edge of the fender. An 8 in wheel is a bit narrow for a 285 tire.
