Will I have any problems with with 18x10 5.9in Back Spacing and 15.5in wide tire?

Ok, I ordered a set of 38x15.5R18 ATZ's, and I am planning on getting some 18x10 Helo Blasters with 5.89in of Back Spacing. Will I have any problems with the rim or tire hitting anything on the inside of the wheel? Like the frame or anything?

I will be using a 6in Pro Comp, 3in BL, and 1-2in spacer if needed.

Thanks

That is one SERIOUSLY wide and tall tire. I would seriously be looking at a SAS to get that much rubber mounted...

Well, I talked to Pro Comp and they claim it will not work. They said it will hit the tie rods. Anyone know of anyone that run more than 5in of back spacing on the procomp?

I think there is a kid at my school that had it but he had 22's so maybe he cleared the tie rod.

Thanks

I have American racing fuel rims 18 x 10's with 6" backspacing and with a 13.5 width tire they rub on the lower a arm slightly. I am guessing that they will rub....
