Need 33-18's

I think I am going to be getting some 18x9 Black Helo Maxx 6's in the next week and for right now I am going to put them on my stock tires b/c I still have 10-15k on them. Is there a problem with this?

Now on to my topic. When my tires run out, I want some fairly aggressive but street friendly tires. BFG AT's are a great tire and are probably the top of my list due to the fact that I can't find any other 33x12.50-18's. (Don't want 13.50's b/c I'm not wanting them to stick out too far or rub on my mud flaps) Does anyone have any other tire suggestions?

The 325/60-18's are only about a 1/2 or 3/4 inch wider than a 33x12.50, so the width of the tire is not that big of an issue. Plus, 325/60-18 has become the most common size 33 inch tire available for 18 inch wheels. What is the backspacing on the 18x9 Helo's?

Not sure. I think 5" but I will figure that out.

An 18x9 inch wheel with 5 inches of backspacing is gonna stick out a little, but nothing terrible. To give you an idea, they will stick out 2 inches farther than your OEM wheels. 5.5 inches of backspacing would be a little better.

I have Pro Comp's X A/T's mounted on 18x9's. This may give you an idea of how far your wheels would stick out with 13.5" tires. If I'm not wrong I believe the Moto Metals 951's have a 4.5" backspace.
