Did I order the right backspacing?

Just ordered wheels / tires today. Tires are Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ Radials LT275/70R18 (33x11.50) and wheels were ProComp 18x9 with 5inch backspacing. The dealer I ordered from was originally worried about rubbing with the 5" backspacing but his colleagues were of mixed opinion (1 no, 1yes).

I went with the 5" backspacing because Mickey Thompson's website has a wheel fitment guide. For the FJ, the 17, 18, and 20 inch wheels, which they say will fit, all have a 5 inch backspacing.

Truck will have 3" OME. The same wheel is available in 4.5" backspacing and I can probably change the order within the next 24 hours. What do you think?
