Procomp 6" w/ Moto Metal 951's will tires stick out?

Procomp 6"
moto metal 951
18x9
4.53" backspacing
35x12.5x 18

will my tires stick out?
if so how much?
i would like to keep my tires as close to flush with the wheel wells as possible. What Backspace would you recommend for that and will it cause alot of rubbing?

Thanx in advance, getting my lift wed. need to figure this out asap.

Oh ya it's on a 2007 f150 crew cab 4x2

well look at it this way. The tires are about 2.5" wider than stock and that rim will push thim out an extra inch, so you are looking at being about 3.5inches further out than your current setup.

If you want your wheels close in you are going to have to get the ones with the 6in of back spacing. Also take into consideration that your rim is going to look flat now. You will be loosing all of the rim dish.

A 9 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of backspacing is gonna stick out 2.5 inches farther than the OEM wheels. Another thing to consider is whether or not the Pro Comp kit increases the front track width. I don't think it does, but I'm not positive.

I have the 4.53" BS on mine, but that was the look I wanted. I like them to stick out. It all depends on what you like.
