Does anyone know if they will fit? Also what backspacing would I need for a

This ain't gonna be cheap. That much backspace is gonna mean special order most likely.
NSL
16" doesn't offer as much selection as 15" ... and if they tuck I think it's gonna look a lot meaner even if it is 1 to 2" narrower. just a thought. Good luck, I must of spent 2 weeks pondering

Typo on the 16x10 wheel, meant 17x10...
Problem being I need a 29.5-30" tire to put the gearing right to go through the traps at 120-123 mph on spray. I cant find another drag radial (these are the tires that are going to be on the truck daily) Only reason im not going 15x10 is they wont fit over the rear disc brakes.... Its an 04 extended cab (408" l92/l76, 250 shot progressive)

Ok....I took some measurements. those 390 M&H's are going to stick out to much for my liking.
I think I am going to go 16x10 rim /w a 7.5-7" BS
M&H Has a nice 30x14.0x16 DOT Cheater Slicks.
# Tread Width: 11.0"
# Section Width: 14.0"
# Diameter: 30.0"
# Circumference: 94.0"
# Rim Size: 10.0"
# Code: MHD-10
# Compound Type: HB-11
That will give me more gear than a 28" tire with 4.11's...Truck makes power to 6700 so I think thats perfect for the traps.
(BTW) Thanks all that gave an opinion.
