Ok so I recently install a 6 inch lift on my 08 1500. I think it called for 4.5 inches of back spacing on the wheels. When I ordered my wheels I ordered 5 inch back spacing thinking that it would be better. After more research i realized I may have made a mistake. The tires im running are 33 12/50 and the wheels I ordered are 20x10 with 5 inch back spacing do you guys think that it will be alright?

You'll be fine. That's a common set-up on lifted trucks. Most lift manufactures recommend 5" of back spacing.

What problems do you think you are going to run into?

I was worried about rubbing issues. When I put my factory wheels with the 33s on the tire was rubbing the spindles. I kept reading everyone seemed to be running 4.5 back spacing I just wanted to be sure I would be ok with 5 inch back spacing

Your fine bro. The offset of the factory wheels is what causes that. Don't worry, your good.
