backspacing question

i have a stock 2001 4wd f150, off road packadge, i have 285/70/17 bfgs all terrains on there right now sitting on stock rims and everything is fine...i found these great rims that are 17*9

on line was wondering if there will be any rubbing issues if i replace the rims and keep the tires....i called the company and they said it had 4.5 backspacing and a -12mm offset any help would be great
thanks,
alex

Yes, those will fit fine. You may have to trim a little bit of plastic off the lower corner of your front bumper's valance, but I doubt it. Your OEM wheels are 17x7.5 inches with 4.5 inches of backspacing, so those 17x9's will stick out 1.5 inches farther than you stock wheels.
