you got to set the backspacing 5inches( i think) if you want them to tuck under the fender.

Are you going to have to widen the tubs in the bed to handle that wide of a tire?

I've got 18x9.5's on the rear of mine with 5.25" backspacing also. I've got a 285/40 tire an have about 1/4" clearance on the outer side of the tire with the bags dumped. I wouldn't go with any less backspacing than that or you'll be rubbing (with the same size tire). There is probably a good 3/4" or more clearance on the inner sides of the tires. So there is plenty of room using the stock wheel tubs.

I have 9.5 wide on all 4 corners of mine. Dunno the backspacing though.

I run 9.5" on the back, mounted on the stock wheels. They tuck a little too much, IMHO. Maybe that's cause they are 32" tall, though.
