Another Wheel/Tire Delima, HELP

I thought I was set on 17x9 Fuel Hostage 5" back spacing with 37" Toyo MT's.......


But now I've been considering the 18x9 XD Monster. Problem is it only has a 4.5" or 5.71" back spacing. Not sure which is best for the lift I want. The other problem is trying to find a 37" E Rated tire.

So my first question is the backspacing okay on the Hostage for a 6" PP Lift?

Second question is which 18" wheel back spacing is better and what 37" would be appropriate?

I'm open to other options for tires and wheels as well.

the deep backspacing will keep the wheel & tire under your fender so you dont spray the side of your truck every time you cross a wet section of road.

that really pisses me off when i just washed my truck on Sunday and some jacka$$ leaves his sprinklers on all day Monday.

I think I have it all figured out. I'm switching to the Carli 2.0 setup.

Thanks for your reply.
