295/50r15's on a stepside help needed.

Anyone running 295/50r15 on 15x10" wheels on a stepside? I've seen a few on fleetside's, I am just wandering how they fit and look on a stepside bed. I'm assuming 5" backspacing is probably going to be what I'll need (that's what the fleetsides are running). Thank you

5" BS is gonna be to deep the tire will rub the inside.
I have 295 50 15 with a 15x10 and 4" BS which leaves about 1" inside .

Here's an 86 with 15x10's and 295's with 4" bs.
That's a 2/4 drop.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. I saw 3 fleetsides with 5" backspace and they said 4" would rub the outside on the fleetside fender. I figured the stepsides might have been a bit different.
