    I want to by a specific rim by Ultra but the 18x9 only comes 2 ways. I don't have the experience with how they are going to fit, so I'm looking for some HELP!!! The wheels are 18x9 and its offered 2 ways.
    1. 18x9 -12offset 4.53"backspacing
    2. 18x9 +12offset 5.47"backspacing
    I have a 3" lift I'm going to be installing and 32" tires. If someone could help or if anyone has one of these sizes on there truck, pictures would be great. I have a 2006 DC SB.

    About an inch difference in back spacing, #1 will stick out about an inch more. Stock BS is 5.75 iirc.

    I never had a problem with them, had 2 sets in my time. I had a set of BMF Wheels and they pitted within the first year. What do you prefer?

    ultra are cold cast wheels made in phillipines. they pass no safety tests. basically set in a mold. they do not spin test. they crack near hub with no warranty. they are heavy. my complaints go on and on.

    I am a wheel guy driving best JDM and Porsche wheels.

    like adding wheel spacers, moving the center line of a heavy tire outwards puts more leverage on the bearings, and just speads up wheel bearing wear, not cheep and a dealer may not cover any repair under waranty

    This is not my first rodeo. I dont mind the wheel bearings wearing out its all apart of owning a 4x4 I have never owned a gen 2 tacoma. So I dont have any experiance in fitting wheels and tires. Looking to see if anyone has done a size like what im looking at so this way I can try to figure out the tires and how far my rims will stick out.
