My wheels are 20x8.5 and I believe the backspace is 4.75, the tire sits perfect between the bedside and fender edge.

Basically you could use the adapters to dial in your width if the axle is too narrow.
I have spacers on mine to. Hub centric billet aluminum. They are a tad wide now since I bought 1.5" ones. Will wait till I get my wheels to determine whether to get some one inch ones. Not too expensive. My ole 235 is not going to make enough HP for it to be a big concern
