If you have more than 5" backspace you will have problems on the rear. 6" is the limit on the front, but that's pushing it.

I didn't have any trouble with an 18x9.5 with 6" BS. Is this trouble you speak if, specific to a 20"+ wheel????

This is what I ran into when putting 14" wide race tires on Casper. I could put 6" BS on the fronts, but if I put a 6" on the back, it hit the caliper. This is 16" dia rims though.
Just got them on and they are 4.5" BS ....I think. On the front the edge of the tread is just even with the fender flare and the side tread and side wall stick out. The truck deff. looks a lot meaner now. I'll get some pics up when its light out and I have center caps. They didn't come with caps, and the teflon ones were $30 each. He gave me some chrome ones but they are a little sloppy, so I'll have to put some electrical tape on them tomorrow and put them on. Also got a nice black wire mesh grill that I haven't seen on any truck befor. I'll get that on as well and get the pics.
cool deal!
I'm supposed to have some new (to me) wheels coming but it's been slow as heck getting them shipped... but that's another story. Mine are KMC 635??? not sure if or what their "name" is but they are a black wheel with split polished spokes. I haven't ever had black wheels so this is a first for me. We'll see what I think once I get them on.
