Default Max Backspacing Allowed?

Been looking to get some new wheels for the Ranger. Found a nice set of TSW Sonomas in 18x8.5 (+20) or 18x9.5 (+40). the 18x8.5 produces a 5.54 backspace while the 9.5 version shows a 6.82 backspace. My question is, will these be able to fit? Stock backspace is only 4.5in, so im assuming an extra inch won't be as bad, but I do want to make sure because last thing I want to do is not have them fit. Also kind of curious as to if it will stick out of the fender or not. Thanks!

Default Re: Max Backspacing Allowed?

Heres a link to an offset calculator. Enter original tire size and back spacing first, then new. Just because the back spacing on the new wheels is a little higher, 4.5" of backspacing on a 15x8 and 4.5" of backspacing on a 15x10 are much different.
