Well if I can find 11.5 then ill get that but all I have seen is 12.5 and I'm gonna go to wherever I can find them the cheapest which may be online and ill be doing it myself. Most people I know go out of town to Mosley tire in Vidalia to get lifts and mods done. I just don't want to get these tires and wheels and have some problems with that

The wheels are 18x9 with -12 offset and 4.5 backspacing or 18x9 with +14 offset and 5.5 backspacing. I don't really understand the off set and backspacing

5.5" is definitely too much backspacing. 4.5" is probably at the max. You'll want to find a wheel with 4.5" or less. 4.5" may even be too much but I was told that 4.25" was too much but it's perfect with my 35x12.5s; I just had to take that chance when I ordered the wheels. 4.5" with an 11.5" wide tire should be fine, but again, that's just my guess based on my experience fitting the wheels and tires I have. To be safe, 3.75" to 4" seems to be the sweet spot that everyone can agree on.

Part of the reason I went with Summit Racing was that if I did need to return them, I could drive up I75 to deal with a live person instead of trying to go through that process with an online only place or an online company that doesn't have a store nearby. I strongly recommend that if you don't know 100% that what you're getting will work, make sure the return process won't screw you with shipping or a hassle talking to an actual person.
