moto metal 955 will it fit?

Hi. I am looking at moto metal 955 (18x9) wheels they have -12mm Offset, and 4.5" Backspace, or american eagle 064 (18x10) they have -24mm Offset, 4.5" backspace will any of these wheels fit with a leveling kit (2 inch revtek) and BFG 305/65/18 all terrain tires? I don't know anything about offsets and backspacing so if these don't fit will someone please tell me what backspace and offset to stick with. Thanks for your help.

THe MM's will stick out 2.5 inches farther than your OEM wheels and will probably work better with the 305/65-18's. The Eagle's will stick out 3.5 inches farther than the OEM wheels and you will probably have some very serious rubbing with the 305/65-18's.

Thanks for the info. If they stick out 2.5 inches is that going to be a problem? I do have mud flaps front & rear. Also I recieved a quote for $2100 for the moto metals and the BFG's is that a fair price?

Well if Im not mistaken, you should be looking for a wheel with more of a positive offset and a little bit larger backspace. Like wandell said, you will be sticking out a lot farther out the sides than stock. The rubbing issues won't be with your suspension components, but will come when you have your wheel turned. The wide tire and the extra distance the tire is sticking out will almost guarantee that the tire will hit the front bumper/valance and the fenders. It just doesnt have enough clearance.

Does any one know a good web site that has wheels that will fit correctly on this truck? Thanks Wandell and ATNryan for your help.
