Correct backspacing for 16x8 draglite XP

I was wondering what the correct backspacing for the 16x8 draglite XP's were for the 4th gens. It's either 4.5" or 5.5". Anybody know the correct bs for a correct fit without going past the fenderwell. Thanks.

Edit: I was told 5.5" is correct.

5.5" BS on an 8" wide wheel will put the tire just inside the fender. It will be sticking out about about 1-1/4" further than a stock 8" wheel, but still inside the fender.... same location as the 15x10 7.5" BS in the "Trailer Queen...." picture below.
