What do you guys think of these rims?

Hey guys what do you think of these rims? I wanted moto metal 951 black, but I like the backspacing of these better.

And these are the tires I'm thinking about running.

Do you think they will fit fine on a 2005 Screw 2x4?

Personally, I'd want at least 6 inches of backspacing on a 10 inch wide wheel. Those wheels are gonna stick out about 3 inches farther than your OEM wheels.

I was going to buy a set of those until I saw the back spacing AND when I saw a set with tires mounted on them. They just didn't look right with tires on them.

Alright thanks guys. Yea im not getting those now! I didnt know that they will stick out 3 inches! I think im going with the black moto metal 18's now... What backspacing do you think i shoud get? I'm going to be running hankook ventus ST, so i dunno if the 4.5 in BS will stick out too much and look like crap. Which ones should i go with? Or do you know another black rim that would look good? Tell me your opinions!

Thanks,

Kurt

I like those. I'd go with a 9 inch wide wheel with 5.5 or 6 inches of backspacing personally.
