They come out 3" from the bottom of the front fender. (about the same in the rear) These rims have a mid offset. Depending on what you do as far as wheels you could adjust that distance.

Im goint to say yes. Even before I purchased the truck I new what I wanted to do with it. My last truck had a 6" suspension 325/70/18's all that stuff. With this one I wanted a some what aggressive stance without the lift. I saw the look with the 2" leveling kit so for my it was a no brainer. Plus it rides like a dream

Thanks. I used Caliper paint, bought from a local store. It doesn't look too bad in the pic, but it actually turned out way too orangy. I'm repainting them with a more red color. I didn't even have to take the calipers off. I masked it and then any overspray or spillage, I cleaned with break clean.

i say no to strut spacers . they preload the spring and they move the upper a-arm down where the balljoint is in a bind this is my experince i had on my 2005 f-150 . i changed it out with skyjackers strut kit. the strut is 1" longer and two rings that measure 1" a peice for a 3" lift . the 3" will also preload the sping. struts ride so much better but cost more.

What is the actual backspacing on those wheels? What width are they?

[EDIT]: I see they are 18x9. Still curious on the backspacing though - by mid offset, do you mean 4.5" BS?

Looks great!
