the back spacing means the distance from the inside of the rim where it mounts to the hub to the inside lip of the rim. If a 9" wide rim with a 5.5 backspace fits just right, if you want a 8" wide rim, you will need a 5" backspace for it to fit the same as the 9" with a 5.5, or a 8" with a 5.5" backspace with a 1/2" spacer. If you ran the 8" rim with a 3.5" backspacing, you will have 4.5" of rim past the hub where you should try and keep it around 3"...you would have issues.

ok damn man u bout had me lost there lol . but went and checked my wheels and thought they were 5.5 but they dont look that deep . so does that mean my wheels prob 15x8's and would a 265-50 fit on 8" rim ? thought for sure mine were prob 9's but now said all that and looked at mine think maybe they are 8 's i dont know ...

If guys are running 275/50/15 on a 7" rim, you can surly get 265/50/? on an 8" rim
