Since both have the same backspacing, the 8.5 inch wheels will stick out an inch farther than your OEM wheels while the 10 inch wide wheels will stick out 2.5 inches farther than your OEM 18x7.5 inch wheels (which also have 5.5inches of backspacing).

The 22x9.5's (also used on F-150's) on my Expy have 6.7 inches of backspacing.
