Need help with wheels

I need some advice. I would like to purchase my wheels and tires, so I can have a rolling chassis soon, but I am not sure what backspacing would be best for the wheels. I am going to be running 35x12.50R18 tires with a 4" lift (it's a street truck). Anyone have any advice for wheel width and backspacing? What is the backspacing on a stock wheel? One more questions: when I have been wheel shopping, some wheels list backspacing and offset. Can someone explain to me what offset is? it is usually listed in the 17-20mm range. Thanks for your help guys.

Re: Need help with wheels

Offset is the difference between the wheel mounting surface and the center of the rim. Positive offset means the center of the rim is inboard of the WMS and negative is the reverse. Sorry, but can't help with the other questions.
