I'm just a little skeptical on the 4-1/2" back spacing those rims have. I don't want them to stick out.
Not too sure how heavy the rims are either.

hmm. 4.5" isn't ideal. the 18x9.5" rims i have are a 6" bs and that seems about right.

But most of the 18" AR wheels are 4-1/2" backspacing.
Do you recommend another similar wheel that will have the proper backspacing?

I work 1 day (Saturday) a week at NTB. They are a chain of Tire Kingdom, Merchants Tire & Auto, and Big O Tire.
I work there to only pay for this hobby. Other wise, the wife wouldn't allow the money to come out of our account for my truck. I have to work extra to pay to play.....

there is your problem. you have a lot of choices in the $400+per wheel range. nice looking and any bs you want but for cheap wheels it is hard to get that much bs.

i am thinking about selling my rims and tires. still a little on the fence if i want to try it 2wd or not.
