I'd go with 4" of backspacing all around.

On my front 20x8, I have a 4.5in back spacing. On my rear 20x9.5, I have a 5in back spacing.

is backspacing the same as offset?

I have the same setup and the fit is very good.

I can get some 20x8 inch rims but they have a 5'' backspacing on them, will that be to much so they will not fit right or look funny because they will stick in to far?
