wheel upgrade question

I've decided on the American Eagle 187's from jdwheels.com.

Question: What backspacing/offset will work with a stock suspension including a revtek spacer but will later work with a skyjacker 6" lift?

I really don't want to invest the money in a set of rims and later have to replace them.

Thanks, Jerry

I'm not sure about the rims but here's a pic of my truck with the skyjacker lift.

I think I would purchase rims with the proper offset built in and stay away from spacers. Just my 2 cents worth

Thanks for the replies, Hoff you've got one nice looking truck. I have a silver supercab and was wondering if I would like the polished look but you've made my decision to go polished alot easier. Only problem now is that you've drawn my interest to the AE 102's....Damn!

Plumbguy, the Revtek spacer I'm referring to is the suspension leveling spacer much-like the daystar but made out of aluminum block. I would never use wheel spacers, just my own personal choice there. Thanks for the reply though.
