Nope that won't make it difference in your back spacing.

Back spacing is the distance from the rear lip of the rim to the back of the centre of the rim. Take a flat piece of whatever, put it across the back of the rim and measure from the piece of wood or metal down to the back of the rim.

hopefully that explains it.

I've got a 15x8 with a 5.5" backspacing on my 89. I run 275/50-15's M/T DR's on my Draglites.
