Just bought 5100s
The Bilstien shocks don't cause any backspacing issues. If you want to run 35x12.50's you need to use your oem wheels or one with almost identical specs. Personally, I'd go witht an 18x9 wheel with 5 to 6 inches of backspacing and some 325/60-18 (33x13.00) tires.
Depends on backspacing as well not just width but if backspacing was the same as stock (5.5") they would stick out 1.5" more. If they had 5" of backspacing they would stick out 2" more, 4.5" of backspacing 2.5", 6" of backspacing 1" and so on and so forth. Pretty easy to figure out on your own, formula = + or - (add if wider-subtract if narrower; stock 17's and 18's are 7.5" wide, 20's are 8.5" wide) wheel width over stock, + or - (add if less then 5.5"-subtract if more then 5.5"; stock 17's, 18's and 20's all have 5.5" of backspacing) the backspacing over stock and you'll get the general idea of how much your going to stick out compared to stock

I agree. Also, the most common wheel spec for the 04-08 seems to be an 18x9 with 5 inches of backspacing.
