Yes, stock wheel backspacing is 6.25"

What size tires do you want to run?

probably a 33..the xd monsters have a 18x9 with an 18mm offset that comes out to like 5.71 backspace do you think that would be good?

You might be okay, they may rub a little. How wide of a tire? 12.50?

they are a +18mm offset with a 5.71'' BS on a 9'' wide wheel. That is a great wheel size/spec. You should be fine but you should also take into consideration the width of your tires.

I ran the 20x9 Hoss with the same BS and offset on 35'' tires. They cleared the control arms fine at full lock.
