Proper wheel for 11'FX4

I am having a tough time finding the correct info and wanna order my wheels soon! I would like to put the **** Cepek DC-2 wheels on my 11' FX4, its gonna have a 4" Rancho lift and I'm gonna go with the 35/12.50 Nitto Trail Grapler's. My question is can I run a 18" wheel with this setup? What would you guys go with, 18 or 19"? Thanks!

Ok, I just spoke with Rancho and they recommend a 4.5 backspace...however DC only makes this wheel in a 5" backspace. How much of a difference is this gonna make? Also, I need a 6x135 bolt pattern, correct? Thanks again!

No problem with that backspacing. I'm running an 18x9 +18mm offset which is about a 5.75" backspace (assuming you're talking about a 9" wheel).

Yes you need a 6x135 bolt pattern, and with a 4" lift you can fit those wheels. Should look great! I had those wheels on 3 of my trucks, and I am considering them for my 2010. Post some pics when your done with it!

Rancho is telling me they are not if 5' backspace will work and they might rub. They are not positive since they only tested the 4.5 backspace. Another question I have is what does a 1/2 difference on backspace due to the appearance of how the wheels and tires look, does it make them stick out farther or tuck under the wheel well more?
