Backspacing is 6.3" (161mm) and offset is +.9" (22mm) with a 5x4.5" pattern. If you do anything other than this you will have rubbing of some sort.

Tracking is the car "pulling" you a little around the road usually at lower speeds (is for me, anyway). Can look like you had a few beers at times to a cop til' you get used to it and instinctively react better. I REALLY notice it on common truck routes where there are grooves in the road. I get this alot running my 295's up front and not so much with my 275's, so I guess a little is alot, in this case.
