+18 offset wheels. Will they fit?

Well I have the chance of getting a NIB set of wheels that have a +18mm offset. 20x9 and 22 in rear. Anyone have an idea if this will work and sit tucked in? Truck is in the process of being bagged. Thanks. And if any pics out there post them. Thanks.

That's about 5.75" bs.
(same as an 8" rim with 4.75" backspace)

6" BS on a 9" rim would be better in my opinion.
It will be close.

Might need spacers on the rear.

Cool guys thanks. Just trying to see if they are worth it. I can get the set for $500.

1) pick your "wheel width" on the left hand column.
(It doesn't matter what diameter)

2) scroll across that line and find your (-) offset or (+) offset.

3) look directly above that at the top for "back spacing" in inches.


Something like a +18 will fall between +12 and + 19 on that chart.
Closer to +19.
(which is 5.75" backspace on a 9" wide rim)

Just remember,... a different width wheel and you offset number will mean different backspace.
