Default Wheel Offset/Backspace Question

So how do I know if the offset and backspacing will fit and is okay for my Truck? I found a great deal on these and just want to make sure that the offset and backspacing is okay for our trucks

The offset for factory 18s is around +44 I think. Those wheels should fit. They would stick out just a little farther than your factory wheels.

This should help. It's a direct connection with the offset. If you know the offset, and the width of the wheel, you should be able to determine backspacing and vice versa.

I have 20x9 w/+30 Offset with 305/50/20 Coopers. They stick out about 1/2 inch. It will depend on tire width as well. I have no rubbing even when full locked. I think you could probably go to +35 but anymore and the tire would rub the top of the A-Arm.
