Default 3.70 back spacing too much?

Picked up a set of used American racing AR23 wheels. They are a 15x8 with 3.70" back spacing. I haven't got tires mounted on them yet..

Will they stick out way too far? I've got a 3" zone lift and plans to run 31x10.50 tires. Anyone else running a similar setup?

I've got a 4.5 with 33s on a 15x8 with 3.75 bs wheel

And here's same lift and tires after axle swap with 15x10 wheel with 3.75 bs but then again those are full width axles
