    I"m running a backspacing of -6 on a wheel that's 18x8.5 at stock height and I love the look...had to do some minor cladding trim front and rear, but no rubbing issues lock to lock and I have about 1" of tire outside the edge of the cladding.

    Your truck looks good! With that little trimming, you are gonna rub if you go wheeling, especially on steep descents. The wheel does move around a bit from front to rear. But I would guess by the pics, your truck is not a wheeling kind of truck

    My tires do not stick out quite as far as yours, but pretty close.

    Dont mean to be nitpicky.. but your running an OFFSET of -6.. backspacing would be about 4 inches

    offset is measured from the center line of the wheel, backspacing is measured from the back of the wheel
