Another tire Question. Will it fit?

I'm looking to going to a new 18in wheel with a 5in back space and a set of 285/75/18 toyo AT. I do not have a lift just want to fill up the wheelwell with what I have. Also a lower Hwy RPM would be nice too $$$. Anyone running a setup similar?

I think you'll want at least another 1/2 of backspacing. But I believe 6 inch would be optimal.
