new tires and wheel but....

Hi,
after looking measuring and many other factors I decided to go with a fabtech performance 6" lift with rear dirt logic shocks. This is for a 4x4 04 new body style.
Now to the question:
I really like these tires and wheels XD 778 Series and Mickey Thompson Baja Claw Radial.

The wheel is a: 18x9, 6 on 135 / 6 on 5.5 Bolt Pattern; Back Spacing = 4.52 in.; Offset = -12 mm.; Hub Bore = 106.25

and the tire is a: LT325/65R18; Load Range = E; Max Load = 3860; Tread Depth = 23/32; Overall Diameter = 34.9

Do you think this would fit with the lift?? if possible with out any rubbing, in case there will be some, I will just shave something.

the kit is on this link:

THANK YOU, VERY MUCH ON WHO IS GONNA HELP ME!!!!

Yes, it should be fine. Just make sure you get your bolt pattern, which is 6x135mm (not 6x5.5 inches).

one is -12mm and the other is 18mm.

What is the difference?

I'm not 100% sure but pretty sure that a negative offset will make your wheel sit out from the fender. A Positive offset keeps it tucked under the fender.

so, I guess I'm gonna go with the -12mm

Do you know if the wheel/tire will stick out a lot or no? I want it to stick out but max 1-2 inches from stock.

A 9 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of backspacing will stick out 2.5 inches farther than the OEM wheels. Personally, I would try to stick closer to the OEM backspacing of 5.5 inches.

so do you think this set up would be better??

I need to choose one of these wheels.

XD 795 Hoss=
20x9, 6 on 135 / Bolt Pattern; Back Spacing = 5.71 in.; Offset = 18mm

or

XD 778 Series=
20x9, 6 on 135 / 6 on 5.5 Bolt Pattern; Back Spacing = 5.70 in.; Offset = 18 mm

the tire since Im looking at 20s will be this

BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A with LT325/60R20

The first one. 6 on 135 bolt pattern is the only bolt pattern that will work.

I think the 5.71 inch backspacing would be better personally.

If it was you wandell what kind of wheel would you put there?
