Black vs. Chrome

Ok so I have posted a couple times on here about a lift and a sound system. I ended up not doin the speakers because I decided I have already set aside 3500 so I might as well go with the 6" lift and 35" tires. I'm still going to keep saving for a little longer but since I'm already this close I figured I should start picking out what I'm going to order because I plan to have this done by summer. I plan to buy BFG mud terrain km2's through my work to save some money and I want an 18" wheel. I can't decide between black or chrome and I was hoping for some suggestions/pictures. I noticed that chrome is generally more expensive and I am on a low budget so I would prefer a nice wheel but on the cheaper side. BTW my truck is a white 06 fx4 supercab

On a white FX4, I would go with black wheels since you don't have much chrome on there. Just my opinion though.

Black would look good depening how much other black your truck has. ( black headlights, fender flares, grill, smoked taillights.. )

Do the xd series addicts come in a size that would work with a 35/12.50 tire?

Anyone? What should I be looking for as far as offset and backspacing? What exactly do the measurements mean?

Heres a link about backspacing https://www.f150online.com/forums/su...hats-mean.html

You need to see what backspacing the lift requires in order for the tires to work, you can find this info on the manufactures site usually. I know you said you was wanting a 18" rim, but just know they are harder to find tire sizes for as opposed to 17".

What are some 20" wheels with 5 in. of backspacing. I looked at some posts on here and I think I need a 9 in wide wheel with 5 in. of backspacing, but I haven't been able to find very many wheels with the right backspacing; most of them have more than 5. Is it possible to run a wheel with less than 5 in. of backspacing, for example the XD Hoss in 20x9 has 4.53 inches of backspacing. Would these work?
