Backspace/Offset help, please.

I have a 2wd '04 Titan with 2.5/1.5 mini lift and 325-60/18 Terra Grapplers on stock 18x8 LE rims.

I am looking to get a little wider rims to replace my stock rims that i have on the truck now.

The wheel i am looking at is:

18x9
6x5.5
Backspace: 4.75
Hubcentric
Offset: -6mm

Anybody know how much more these rims will stick out past the fender with the size of wheels that i have? Will I have some serious rubbbing issues with these rims? I am not afraid of doing the pinch weld mod if i have to. Would prefer not to, but no big deal if i do.

Thanks for any help.

Re: Backspace/Offset help, please.

They'll stick out 1.75" more than they do now, and rub a bunch. Turn your steering wheel so your current setup is closest to the fender liner at the rear of one of the front wheel wells. Now imagine them sticking out 1.75" more, or use something to place at the shoulder to stick out that much more.

You can make them fit with the pinch weld mod.

Thanks a lot. Looks like its time to get out the saw.
