Asking the experts...18x9, 5.39 backspacing

Got a 2009 XLT 4x2, gonna install a 2.5" Auto Springs lift with 1-1/2" rear leveling. Want to know if i can put 18x9 with 5.39 backspacing. wanna put 325/60R18 tires (33x13.00x18). Will it work on the 09's?????????

Info is limited on the 09's but they appear to be similar to the 04-08's. The wheel specs are fine but a 325/60-18 may be pushing it. I'd try to find a narrower 33 inch tire like a 305/6-18 (33x12.50) or a 285/65-18 (33x11.50). You could always test fit a 325 and then go with a narrower tire if it doesn't fit.

I seriously doubt a 325/60-18 is gonna fit with that wheel. That wheel is gonna stick out about 2.5 inches farther than the OEM wheels. You may be pushing it with a 285/65-18 with that wheel. I'd look for a wheel with at least 5 inches of backspacing.
