new tires and wheel but....

Hi,
after looking measuring and many other factors I decided to go with a fabtech performance 6" lift with rear dirt logic shocks. This is for a 4x4 04 new body style.
Now to the question:
I really like these tires and wheels XD 778 Series and Mickey Thompson Baja Claw Radial.

The wheel is a: 18x9, 6 on 135 / 6 on 5.5 Bolt Pattern; Back Spacing = 4.52 in.; Offset = -12 mm.; Hub Bore = 106.25

and the tire is a: LT325/65R18; Load Range = E; Max Load = 3860; Tread Depth = 23/32; Overall Diameter = 34.9

Do you think this would fit with the lift?? if possible with out any rubbing, in case there will be some, I will just shave something.

the kit is on this link:

THANK YOU, VERY MUCH ON WHO IS GONNA HELP ME!!!!

Yes, it should be fine. Just make sure you get your bolt pattern, which is 6x135mm (not 6x5.5 inches).

I just saw that there is to different offsets for the wheel that I want.
one is -12mm and the other is 18mm.

What is the difference?

I'm not 100% sure but pretty sure that a negative offset will make your wheel sit out from the fender. A Positive offset keeps it tucked under the fender.

so, I guess I'm gonna go with the -12mm

Do you know if the wheel/tire will stick out a lot or no? I want it to stick out but max 1-2 inches from stock.

A 9 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of backspacing will stick out 2.5 inches farther than the OEM wheels. Personally, I would try to stick closer to the OEM backspacing of 5.5 inches.

I need to choose one of these wheels.

XD 795 Hoss=
20x9, 6 on 135 / Bolt Pattern; Back Spacing = 5.71 in.; Offset = 18mm

or

XD 778 Series=
20x9, 6 on 135 / 6 on 5.5 Bolt Pattern; Back Spacing = 5.70 in.; Offset = 18 mm

the tire since Im looking at 20s will be this

BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A with LT325/60R20

The first one. 6 on 135 bolt pattern is the only bolt pattern that will work.

I think the 5.71 inch backspacing would be better personally.

If it was you wandell what kind of wheel would you put there?
I really want 20" and black if possible.

Im gonna definatly stay with this tire BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A with LT325/60R20 just cuz they r quiet, great mileage out of them and good for my offroading.
