+18 offset...5.4" backspacing?
Hey fellas, I was getting ready to order a 5th wheel for my spare and found out the specs on the wheels that came on the ride I bought. I have read that most of you roll 4.5" backspacing. These baby's gonna be ok? I love the wheels...

Factory alloys are 6.25" back spacing, so you have about .76" more clearance than stock.
If you are going to stay with the tire size you have and they don't rub, I'd stay with what you have.
My 2cents

Depends on the tire size. A 4.50 BS is recommended for 35x12.50's to get the tires out far enough to prevent rubbing. Same goes for the spare. If you are running a wide tire, you may need a spacer to fit it on the spare tire mount.
