No way.
Too many variables and too many opinions on how the wheel sets in the fenderwll. Backspacing is as much personal preference as anything else.
I like my wheels to tuck a certain amount. Others may want them flush with the sheetmetal. Others might want them to stick out.
Same with tire sizes.
Your choice is all personal opinion..

Totally agree. This is definitely one thing where the recommendation should only be used as a starting point for your own measurements. There's absolutely no way for whoever you are talking to on the phone to know exactly what you need for your truck. Even between trucks that have the same setups there is variation.
