18 inchers... just need some clarification

Hey, just had a quick question for whoever is familiar with this. I have a 1999 XLT with the stock rims, which I believe have 4.5" of backspacing. I saw a set of rims here that are 18x8.5, have the 5x4.5 bolt pattern, and have 4.75" of backspacing. My question is, when combined with 255/55/18 tires, would it be pushing it to have 4.75" of backspacing on the wheels? I'd rather not run spacers on the car, so I'm trying to find a wheel that'll bolt up and not rub. Thanks for any input. Here's a link to the site if you're interested: http://www.racelinewheels.com/s-9-wheel-specifications.aspx?ProductID=201

The backspacing on the stock rims is 3.75". Now that being said, Those wheels with 255/55/18 (29x10R18) should fit with no problems. Although depending on how much +/- offset, there is always a chance of some slight inside rubbing @ full lock. I'd go for it...

I have 18x9 Saleen Rims on the front of my X, and 18x10's in the Rear.

The 18x9 has a backspacing of 5.95", with an offset of +24mm
The 18x10 has a backspacing of 6.38" with an offset of +22mm

The 18x9 is wrapped in 255/55-18 Toyo's
The 18x10 is wrapped in 285/50-18 Nitto's

I don't have any rubbing under NORMAL conditions....I am lowered 5", and there is a turn in my neighborhood when I am turning hard right, and hitting the bottom of a hill at the same time...that is the only REAL time I rub on anything, but that is due to my drop, and not the wheel tire combo by itself.

NO it would not be pushing it... I also have a almost brand new set of 18" Chrome Detata Rallye's with 2 month old Cooper Discoverer H/T plus 255/55-18 they came with the truck when I bought it Dec 15th 07...there yours for $650 shipped if your interested here are a few picks if you haven't bought wheels yet...

this is stock height on my truck but lowered a little bit then you'd fill the wheel wells nicely...
