I was looking in my manual at all the examples and most of them had 6ish backspace with 30mm offset.

I found a good deal on some boss 338's and was wondering if these would work? I have a fox width rear and not running fenders...

Here are the specs

Staggered Setup:
2- 17 x 8 Front wheels
Offset: +2mm, Backspace: 4 1/2"
AEWC part# 3387-8812-2AA

2- 18 x 9.5" Rear wheels
Offset: -4mm, Backspace: 5"
AEWC part# 3387-9912

My back space was 5" front and 6" back. You could always use wheel spacers if needed.

But unless I am looking at it wrong..with less of a backspace the wheel would be farther away from the body by that much..right?

you may be right. Sorry for the mix up.

All, Here's a great website that has a calculating tool to determine wheel back spacing and offset with tire sizing.
