ATX thug wheels

hey guys was shopping for some rims today and think i found a pair that im going to buy in the next few weeks, my question is what combo should i go for?
I want the 18x9 but am unsure of which offset and backspacing to go with. The options are 0mm offset with 5" of backspacing or -12mm offset with 5.47" backspacing. I want a more aggressive stance then stock and i am doing a six inch lift once the snow melts.

With that lift I'd maybe go with the 18x9 with the 5" BS. Check with the lift manufacturer's specs on the wheel size to use to be sure. Those wheels will stick out 2 inches more than stock.

I'd definitely go with the 5"BS, especially since your going with a 6" lift, I'm going with a 5" BS with a 2" AS.

x3 on the 0 offset w/ 5" b.s.. I just put those exact same wheels, with that b.s. on my truck a few weeks ago. I love them, I'm sure you will too.

Sorry for the wait guys. I didn't get a chance to get on the site yesterday. Anyways I'll post some pics tomorrow when the sun comes back up.

BTW, I live in San Diego and was referred to a guy at a Discount Tire around here. He seriously hooked me up on the wheels...I paid 152.00 a wheel (608.00 total), $39 for all new locking lugs, and paid $80 to get them mounted and balanced. The only bad thing was that I had to pay $80 for the shipping all the way from Wheel Pros on the east coast according to him. He said, "finding these wheels, was like looking for a needle in a haystack." Either way, I didn't mind b/c I felt like I got a great deal and was very happy with the finished product. Total cost w/ tax was $823.73.

Talk to you all tomorrow.

Here you go, hope this works. Sorry about the dirty truck and quality (took the pics in between meetings in my office parking lot). I can get better pics up later if needed.
