Default Question about wheels on Ebay...

I found a set of wheels on ebay for $795. They are 18"x9.5" with a 5" backspace with of course a 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern. My question is that since I have a 06 GMC Sierra 1500 2wd will these wheels fit since they are so wide? I know they will fit in the rear, but will they fit up front as well??? Thanks guys!

They will fit, depending on tire size. Are you wanting them to tuck? Cause with that backspacing they will not

Yes they will fit, and with a 3/5 drop I ran the same size with 255/55/18s with no rubbing.

There is the link to the wheels....let me know what you guys think. Yea I want them to tuck and that was my biggest fear is them rubbing like crazy when I go to make a turn. What other size tires do you guys think I would be able to get away with and with no rubbing? Thanks Guys!

My 8" wide wheels with 5" backspacing are close to not tucking. You are adding another 1.5" of width to the wheel, and no more backspacing...they will not tuck. My guess is they would stick out between .5" and 1". Its a shame cause those are nice, and cheap for some billet specialties

The 255/55 will fit without any problems, 255/60s will fit no problem. You may get a little rubbing with some 285/60s.
