Here is some info on backspacing http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/offset.html
I gave you the link because they can explain it way better than I could. If you want the wheels to "tuck" inside the fender with a low drop I know that on a 8" wide rim your gonna need at least 6" of backspacing. Make sure you also consider your tire size. Running to tall or wide a tire will cause them to rub on the fender. Hope this info helps.

www.bigblockdart.com explains how to measure for backspacing, go to the bottom of the page on the right under chassis or something, you'll find your info there
