aftermark wheels

Hi guys,
I'm a new member and I have a 2008 ford f150 4x4 lariat supercrew.Question,I have 18" wheels with 275/65 /18 tires.I want to buy the MotoMetal 956 18"X 9" wheels but I'm not sure about the backspace, I don't plan to install a lift kit,but I would like for the tires to stick out a little bit. Thanks for any info any of you guys can give me .

I'd go with the version with 5.7 inches of bs. They will stick out about 1.5 inches farther than your oem wheels. The version with 6.1 inches of bs will stick out about an inch farther than stock. The version with 4.5 inches of bs will stick out 2.5 inches farther than the oem wheels.

If you plan on installing a lift kit in the future, each kit specific certain backspacing requirements. Something to keep in mind.
