Wheels with a 6 inch lift question

So these wheels I'm looking at when I get my lift just wondering if there would be any problem there..

17x9 0 offset with 5 backspacing. I see all the lifts say 4.5 so wondering if there would be a problem with the 5 bs

Could hit the control arms while turning or cause some nasty rubbing on them. Rubbing the frame at full lock will be more likely to happen.

As long as you lift says that BS is ok you will be fine.

Would a 17x9 -12 offset and 4.5 bs have no problems?

Yeah. Most wheels for your truck will have 4.5 inches of backspacing. If the lift company says not to run a wheel with more than 4.5 inches of BS, you can bet there is a good reason.
