the wheel will stick out roughly 3/10 of an inch further.

Only about 90% of the trucks with aftermarket wheels on the site.

I have Pro Comp Xtreme AT's on my truck and love them. They're an aggressive looking tire, yet very quiet on the road. Can't say much about the mileage factor because I've only had them about 2k miles, but they're rated at 40k miles.

The lower the backspacing number, the more it will stick out of the fender. 5.18" is close to the stock rim's backspacing of 5.5"
It will actually stick out 1.3 inches farther due to the additional rim width over stock.

I dont think Moto Metal gives you a choice with backspacing, do they? I think it is what it is.....

Well no, because your stock rim is 7 inches wide...at least I think...

So if you go from a rim that is 7 inches wide with 5.5" backspacing to a rim that is 8" wide with 5.5" backspacing, it will stick out another inch. Backspacing is from the inner lip of the wheel to where the wheel contacts the hub.
