Need help with wheels...

So I need some help.... I have searched high and low and have not found an answer to MY question...

I have a 2012 F150 XLT Supercab that will be here in a few weeks and I am going to get it leveled and then throw some wheels and tires on it...

My question...

If I get KMC XD Rockstars 18x9 with ( 0.00 Offset ) & ( 5.00 ) backspacing with 275/65-18... Will that combination stick out any farther than the stock set up? I would like for the set up to stay as similar to stock in that regard as possible...

Sorry about noob question, but this is my first truck after owning Subaru wagons my whole life....

Thanks in advance!

wandell or someone can tell you exactly what it will be..but it will only be about the difference in width from your stock wheels to the 9" ones.... So id say probably an inch. Not sure the width of the stockers.

I would go with 275/70/18, which is a 33 inch tire. The 65 series will look small so I would go with 70 series unless u are reusing stock tires. Agree they will stick out a bit more, but not a ton, if u want closer to stock specs look for a positive offset and more backspacing. Do they offer any other wheel options for that wheel?

A 9 inch wide wheel with 5 inches of backspacing will stick out 2 inches farther than your OEM wheels.
