So I have been lurking this forum for quite sometime now. I am currently in Iraq and finally decided to join since I spend my evenings on here getting ideas for my truck back in the states. I have already ordered a bilstein leveling kit and my next big purchase is going to be a set of KMC XD Addicts.
I plan on running 275/70R18 or 325/60R18 Nitto Terra Grapplers.

So my question is which version of the 18x9 rim should I purchase:
1) 4.5" Backspace and -12mm Offset
or
2) 5.71" Backspace and 18mm Offset

Just wanna make sure before I make the purchase and want to make sure that everything fits the way I want it too.

 

I would go with option number 2. Number 1 will stick quite a ways out. Number 1would be better with a 6 inch lift and large fender flares. The second wheel u refer to will still stick out a little more than stock, but will tuck in much more than the option 1s.

 

Does anybody have personal experience with this wheel?

How much will the second option stick out past the fender well?

 

I have personal experience with 18x9 XD Monsters with 5.71" BS and 325/60/18 Terra Graps. It's a good set-up with a 2" or better level. You'll rub if you go with the 4.5" BS. Been there, done that.

 

Do your Monsters also have that +18mm Offset?

 

I believe so. I still got them if you want them. 2000 miles on both the wheels and tires. $900 for all. Come and get them!

 

This is with a 2" HBS level kit.
