Default Anyone running these? (wheels) input/info

Looking for something a little different for my truck. I like these wheels. Can anyone verify fitment/back spacing? Will they stick out to or past flare? I have an 04 4x4 scab. stock (a.s kit on way), will be running 33x12.5x18 Truck has factory lip guards/flares

they have a 6.25" backspacing. those should fit fine. but if you ever plan on getting a suspension lift, other than a leveling kit, you won't be able to use those wheels

Dont "PLAN" on any lift. If it comes to that I will need bigger tires anyway. I wont want to put new tires on "old" wheels right? Any idea on how they would sit relative to the fender? I see tons of xd/monstar/rockstars on here. How would they compare to them? I want them to stick at least to the flare. 1" out is ok. So they will fit with level kit but not a lift. Why is that? Will they fit stock?

because of the deep backspacing on the rims, knuckle clearance. well they will sit back .75" and are 1" wide, so they will stick out .25" further than your stockers.

As a comparison how much further than stock would a set of 18x9 monster/rockstars stick out? I dont think the 1/4" extra is going to put me at the flares or give me the stance Im looking for. I see several pics of rockstars. I wish the had a brushed alloy. Chrome isnt me and black just doesnt stand out enough.

depends on what backspacing you get the monsters in
