Question Tire/Wheel Help Needed......

I've got a 5" lift on my truck and I am currently running 325/65/18 Terra Grapplers on 18x9 Moto Metal 951's that have 4.5" of backspacing. I am looking for a nice set of black wheels to replace them right now, but I seem to be having a hard time finding a set with the perfect backspacing. I want some wheels with more backspacing so that I can run a 37x13.50 next time I purchase tires; these 35's just look a tad small for the 5" lift. I was thinking of the XD Series Hoss with 5.71" of backspacing, but I wasn't sure if they would look a little funny on my truck. I don't really want to take my fender flares off so I need a wheel that would fill up the flares as much as possible, but yet still allow me to run 37's next time around. Maybe you guys get where I'm coming from. I was thinking around 5.5" of backspacing would be about right. This stuff is drivin' me nuts.....

By the way, I would be more than happy to give someone a good deal on the Moto's if you want to take them off my hands.....

I like the fact of 20's, but I really don't want to change the tires just yet. If I were to wait until I changed the tires, I would probably go with the 20x8.5 Black Rockstars. Now those are some killer wheels...

I hear you pt..... I hate to be a copycat.
Do you think that 37's would fit with those wheels and 5" of lift? I'm leaning towards either a Toyo Open Country M/T or a Pro Comp Xtreme A/T. I know, completely opposite tires; I'm not sure yet if I want a M/T or A/T......

I'm just teasin'. The first time I saw them was on a Chevy in a campground one weekend. So I guess you can say I copied that loser ('cause he drives a Chevy ).

I think 37"s would look awesome on a 5" lift and 17" wheels. If I wasn't so broke I'd have glass fenders, 4.56 gears and 37" tires on my truck. If I hit the lottery I'll be dropping off my truck the next day.....

Oh, and with my next truck I'll probably copy this guy. I'm diggin' the red and black.....
