Moto Metal wheels

Can someone help me out with info on these wheels. I am looking at getting some 951B in 18x9 and put some 295/70/17 NTG on them. I'd like the tires to stick out from the fender a little more than stock. Say 1" to 1.5". Now the ones I have seen for sale say they have a +30mm offset and 6" of backspacing which leads me to believe that they would fit in pretty close to stock. Maybe stick out a little bit. But all the F150's that I see with them in everyone's gallery here, they look like they are sticking out like 3+ inches. Am I missing something? Do they sell the exact same rim (18x9 with 6x135 bolt pattern) with different offsets?? I looked at the Moto Metal website but it is completely useless.

Thanks for any help.

Ron

I think two different backspacings are available. A 9 inch wide wheel with 6 inches of backspacing will stick out 1 inch farther than the OEM wheels.

You might have a little trouble putting a 295/70/17 tire on a 18" rim....
