18x9 with 5" backspacing

Will these fit on my stock 2007 F150 FX4 with the 2.5" leveling kit in front wrapped with 33x12.5x18 **** Cepek FCII? I am getting ready for my Skyjacker install and went ahead and ordered the rims. When I ordered them I was lead to believe they had 4.5" backspacing but later found out Mickey Thompson deosn't make a rim with the 6x135 bolt pattern with the 4.5" backspacing only the 5". I called Skyjacker and they said their should be a +/- 0.5" in the backspacing to play with and they might work.

Also, those with lifts, where do your tires rub if at all? I have read under the bumper on the plastic facia as well as the outside back part of the wheel well? Any have any problems else where? Any running the skyjacker lift kit with this back spacing?

Thanks,
Greg

Great to hear, thanks!

Did you reuse your tire sensors? Where they hard to change?
