Wheel and Tire help??!!

Well i got a really good dal on some slightly used Nitto Terra Grapplers they are 285/60/R18 (31.5/11.5/R18) accordin to Nitto.
i am looking into some 18x10 Xd Spys with -12 offset.

A: how far will my wheels stick out of the fender wells?
B: Think this setup will look good?

Pics...

What is the backspacing? If it's the normal 4.5 inches, they will not stick out. The edge of the wheel will be just about even with the edge of your fender flares. I have pics in my gallary so you can see for yourself.

Wandell, I thought 4.5 stuck out more than 5? Unless I have it backwards.
