Default Can i run a 6" lift with my setup?

Can i run a 6" lift with 295/70-18s and 18x9 5.7" backspacing wheels without rubbing? I have a 2.5" leveling kit and am not rubbing now. All the companys say no more than 4.5" backspacing, but it makes sense to me if im not now then i wouldnt then.

Could he with a wheel spacer,say about one and half inches to put the wheels out further?I don't recommend wheels spacers,but its an option if it were to work.

You should be good. Don't let people scare you from using adapters. I have had them on my truck for 20k+ and its been no problems (knocks on wood). So order the damn kit already and put it on and show it off to all us jealous folks that want a kit but cant get one just yet...

And yeah i did buy them, if the adapters hold up well ill probably just keep them but i may just get some of the same exact wheels just 4.5" BS and sell the 5.71" BS ones.
