Default +12 offset 5.5 Backspace???

So my wheels and tires stick out about 2 inches from the fenders right now, found a set of wheels I like and they are +12 offset and 5.5 backspacing, will these still stick out past the fenders? It is a screaming deal, but I dont want to lose the stance I have now.

Nice truck.! What r the specs of ur current wheels n tires? I'm wanting to get some wheels that give my truck a look like yours. I like the look where the tires stick out a little to give a wider stance.

With the limited info you provided, I can tell you that those wheels have basically 5" of backspacing(5.5"-1/2"=5"). I have 18x9's with 5" of backspacing on my '12 FX4, and they(the wheels NOT the tires) fit damn-near perfectly FLUSH with my fenders

I have 18x9's with 5.5" of BS myself right now, with 35x12.5r18 Toyo M/T's and I get a fairly aggressive stance.



and...



The real problem I have with this setup is I get wheel rub on the inner fender portion.

That is damn near exactly what my stance looks like, what offset are those wheels?

Yah 6" Rough Country lift kit. 18x9 +12 Offset.

Planning a new purchase right now, and I'll be moving to a 20x12 -44 with 35x13.5R20 Fuel Gripper tire. She'll stick out 2.4" wider then it currently does.
