    I did search, but can't find a definitive answer on back spacing/offset for 18x9 wheels. I'm running Bilstein 5100 lift and net about 3", without hitting the SPC UCA what back space/offset you recommend?

    -12mm offset will clear.. 0 offset would work also.. tire size will dictate what will clear and what wont.. 265's don't require as low an offset to clear arms due to tires not being as wide. I ran 17x9 -12 offset with 285's.. currently running 17x9.5 -18mm offset

    285/65/18 is usually 32.8x11.5 wide.. I ran 265/70/17 on the 9 wide wheels with no issues.. tires looked a tad stretched but I ran them just fine until I switched to 285's.. I'd say if your gonna run at least 285's then run 9 wide wheels a -12mm offset will stick out passed the fender a bit if our running 285's.. also depending on your driving a cab mount chop may be a good idea also
