    Ok I'm 16 new to the whole having my own truck thing. I have no idea what backspacing and all that is. All I know is that I want to run 18 inch rims and 33 inch tires. The truck came with like 2 inches of lift but I'm gunna buy a three inch lift kit. What all backspacing and everything else do I need to order on the rims? Also What is offset? Should I get -12 or 18? Thanks in advance.

    you need 4.5 inches of backspacing. your offset depends on how wide of a rim you are getting
