KMC Wheels BS and Offset options
I've narrowed my wheel selection down to 18x9 KMC XD Series Addict, Diesel, Monster, Rockstar or Hoss. Now my trouble is the back spacing and offsett. I have nittos 325-60R18s and a 2.5 level no rubbing no issues.
My offset and back spacing choices for these wheels are
1.) Offset: 0mm, back spacing 5"
2.) Offset: -12mm back spacing 4.53"
3.) Offset: 18mm back spacing 5.71"
4.) Offset: 35mm back spacing 6.38"
which offset and back spacing do I pick so that I don't rub?

I would say option 3 or 4....they are closest to stock. With a 325mm tire the more you kick them out with a negative offset the more problems you will have with rubbing.
Option 2 def wont fit. It might be possible with option 1 but itd be close and you would have to do a ton of trimming.

Haha.not a problem dude. good luck. I had my 295/65/20 (35.1 x 11.6) Nittos on a 2.5" level on stock 20's and they rubbed a good amount. So I got wheels with a +12mm offset (5.5" BS) and all the rubbing issues were solved.
I dont know since your tires are so wide that the +18 ones might rub the inner fender...nothing you cant trim but if your stock wheels dont rub now then try to stick to something that is as close to that as possible. Stockers are like 6" BS...my stock 20's were +44 or 6.14" BS so your +35mm ones might be best.

I have the XD Addicts with 4.5" backspacing, as I don't like the tires sticking too far out from the fenders. I've seen the same wheels on other trucks and they are way too far out there like a full-on low rider (especially on some of the Dodge trucks).
Here's the only pic that I have handy; just after returning from the snow and dirt of Tahoe, so they're filthy here:

Option 3 will be your best bet for little to no rubbing
