They will stick out about 2.5" more then a stock wheel. Stock wheel is only 7.5" wide with 5.5" backspace.

What set-up you have or are you going with: what size tires, leveling kit, etc? To wide of a wheel may create rubbing issues.

His info says he has a 2000 f-150. His oem wheels are either 16x7 with 4.5 inches of bs or 17x7.5 with 4.5 inches of bs. That wheel will stick out 2 inches farther than oem 16's and 1.5 inches farther than oem 17's.
BS is the distance from where the wheel bolts to the hub to it's rear edge. Offset is the distance from where the wheel bolts to the hub to the center of the wheel.

The 5.43" bs will stick out more.

325/65/18 Nitto's are a 35"x13" tire (34.88"x12.99")
