Default Wheels backspace?

Thinking of getting this wheels for my 28x10's Hoosiers. They come on 16x8's and 16x10's. Want to get the 16x10's to see how they work, but I think they come on a couple of backspace sizes. What backspace would be better so they don't stick out the fender as much?

You need 7" back space on a 10" rim.

If offered, 7" would be the best option

7" will be too much backspacing with disc brakes.

16" won't work with drop spindles . . . I have no idea what your suspension is up front

stock backspacing is 5" . . . those look like the same wheels that AP has for his slicks, and his are 16x10s
