MB Motoring Express 6

First off thanks for all the great information that you guys have supplied me so far through various searches and readings. I am on the verge of ordering the nitto terras 325/60/18 and the MB Motoring express 18/9/6-135 30mm offset along with the 2.5 inch Daystar. The question I have is Tommy from discount tire says that the backspacing for this set up would be 6.5 inches and would be fine. I know stock 18 inch fx4 wheel is 5.5 inches. Can someone let me know how far this will stick out the fender well and if this is going too far or will it be ok. Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks gotnoboundry. I like your set up. I see your gunner's are 8.5 inch are they 30mm offset also. If so I guess I can just add .5 inch (express are 18/9) to your pic and thats how far they would stick out of the fender on mine.

The wheels should only stick out 1/2 inch farther than the OEM wheels.
