For what it's worth, I thought ahead and ordered 4.5" 4 lug wheels as well as 5.5" just for this reason.
they are 5-1/2" wide with 3-5/8" backspacing. This works out to only 22mm offset. The stock Type 3 offset is 46mm. I
would suspect that these would rubber the fender lip some. If my
calculations are right the outer rim of the wheel is a whole 36.5mm (1.44
inches) further outboard then the stock 4-1/2" rim with 46mm offset.
