I'm running stock wheels, but that BS should push out the tires about 1.25". Too far in my opinion, but about as good as you can do on these trucks.

I was looking at the same rims but now I think I will go with the XD Hoss 18x9 w/6.18 backspacing. Still an inch wider than stock but thats about as good as it gets.

Those Hoss are the closest aftermarket wheels I've found to the stock offset. They should push out the tires about 3/4" from stock.

If you dont mind spending $325 a wheel Walker Evans Racing has 17x8.5 and 20x8.5 wheels with backspacing up to 6 inches for our trucks, nice wheels.
