18" wheels

Will an 18" x 9" wheel work on our trucks with 4.5" of backspacing? I havent had a chance to go outside and do any measuring, but thought maybe somebody here would already have the answer.

71 3/4ton long bed 2wd truck, and these are the wheels:

Re: 18" wheels

Thanks Tom, I was hoping someone would have some input... it seems that everybody uses a 5.5" back space on the rear and a 4" back space on the front. Not sure how the 4.5" backspacing of these wheels will work...too bad cuz there arent many 8 lug wheels out there....
