Is 5.03" BS OK on a 6+3?

I'm looking at the XD Monster 20x10. This will be on a 6+3 and wrapped with 37s (either toyos or trail grapplers). How far will this wheel stick out? I'm deciding between that and the 20x10 rockstars.

Also does anyone know what the Backspace of the 20x10 Rockstars are? All I can find is that they are -24 offset.


Specs below for the monsters:

Diameter- 20''

Width - 10"

Offset- (-12mm)

Backspace - 5.03''

Bolt Pattern - 5x135

Those rockstars are going to be about 4.5" BS. So they would only stick out about 1/2 of an inch more.

Thanks for the reply. Does that mean the Monsters (being at 5.03" BS) will stick out about an inch?

The rockstars will stick out a 1/2 inch on each side more than the monsters

Thanks. I guess I don't really understand backspacing. So it looks like a 5" BS will fit more under the wheel well compared to a 4.5"?

I like the look where the wheel sticks out some for the aggressive look (but not insanely out there).

Thanks

With backspacing, the lower the number is the more it's going to stick out. Even with 5" of BS, if you go with a 12.50 or 13.50 wide tire it's still gonna stick out a decent bit. Go with which ever rims you think look the best since the small difference in backspacing isn't going to make too drastic of a change either way.
