Question Another wheel question?

OK. I'm finally putting my next mods package together. I've decided on the 4" Rancho lift. Hopefully I've done my research correctly on this forum showing our stock wheels (for the Lariat) are 18" with 6 x 135mm bolt pattern and +44mm offset. So the the question is can the wheels I've picked (with 18" 6x135mm and -24offset 4 1/4backside spacing) fit on the truck? Or do I need to keep searching for wheels that have an +44mm offset?

The wheels you picked will stick out 2.5-3" from the stock wheels and with a lift look real good but you might need flares....I have a set of american racing mojaves 18X9 chrome 5" backspace with a -22 offset....They had tires mounted and never even been on the road...

My recommendation is to stay between a wheel that is 5 to 6 inch backspace unless you like the wheels stick out alot.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I don't mind the wheels sticking out a couple inches since I do have running boards it will balance out the look. I really like the wheels I've selected and it's now just a matter of money when I pull the trigger on this mod.
