Q Regarding Backspacing

I posted a while back about buying tires and wheels and finally after a cross country move, and another kid bought some 325/65/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers. I am running them on my stock rims but I am thinking of two options.

First: Buy a new set of rims. Mamba M2's from tirerack. $175 each.
Second: Not sure if it even exists since i can't find anything, but I was wondering if there is a kit that adds backspacing so I can keep my factory rims.

Any input as always is greatly appreciated.

No, you can't add backspacing. If you did, they would rub your control arms badly. Also, your main problem is the narrow 7.5 inch width of your oem wheels. I'd suggest a set of 18x9 inch wheels with 5 to 6 inches of backspacing.
