About to buy new wheels and tires
I'm putting 35x12.5 20s on 20x9s soon but I have a question about wheels. The ones I want come in -12 / 4.5 bs or +18 / 5.7 bs, I prefer the look of the +18 but on the site I'm ordering from they recommended the tires I'm getting be on a wheel with a back spacing between 4-5. I'm currently running a level and block but will be upgrading to a bds lift eventually and the bds site also mentioned that the wheel bs should be between 5-5.5. Will the +18 / 5.7 cause me major issues? Also I'm aware that there's wheel fitment threads I was just hoping this would give me a quicker answer, thanks.

I just put 305 70 18 dick cepek tires on 18x9 +25 offset with 5.98 backspace on my 2014 with level kit. I love the look, agressive, yet the tires are not sticking way out. Had to trim a little plastic front and back, no big deal.

We can't get away with that up here where we have state inspections. We can't have the tires sticking out beyond the fenders or fender flares. However, lots of people swap rims and tires after getting their state inspection sticker. But then you have to pray that the police don't pull you over for your tires sticking out.
