Wheel Backspace, Am I Screwed?

[brokedownwallet]

Accidentally bought wheels with +18mm offset instead of 0. 17x8.5, was planning on running 265/70r17 but found out the backspacing is 5.46. Ran it through willtheyfit.com but it still didn't give me anything helpful. Anyone here have any experience running a positive offset on aftermarket wheels? Will they rub with that much offset?

They will rub due to turning radius. Body lift or a suspension lift could help.

Running 2.5 in OME right now, still skeptical if they'll fit and dont want to pay for new tires to be mounted if they won't though.

yes you will have an issue without spacers
