im wanting to run 295/40 on the back of my truck with a 7" drop, i wondering if the tire will fit with the wheel offset. i plan on rolling the lip.
the specs on the wheels are
wheels size 20x8.5
rear spacing 5.0"
offset +6mm

yes, it will fit, if you shorten your rear end.
Backspacing being 5" and the wheel being 8.5" wide, you are at a 3.5" lip. That coupled with a 295/40, I don't think its gonna make it?
For example, I have 22x10 with 7" Backspacing and my rear tires just barely clear the fender. I am only dropped 6" and running a 285/40.

i have a 275/40/20 on a 20X8.5 +12 with a 6" drop and it cut my tires all up until i rolled the fenders on the bedsides. now it clears but there is no room for any bigger tire or a lower offset wheel

I run a 295/45 on a 20 x 8.5 with +20 backspacing and there is no way I could ever do a 7inch drop on that set up. It is pretty much flush with the wheel well. If you had the skills to flare the fender, it might fit then, but its gonna have to be flared quite a bit to make it work.
