new wheels and tires
hey guys, I'm looking at ordering new wheels and tires very soon and was looking for some input on backspacing and offset and what not. Did a search and didn't come up with the answers I was looking for.(or I'm just to dumb to figure it out) Anyways I'm getting a set of 17" KMC Rockstar XD 775's. The wheels are "17x8 with a +10 offset and backspacing between 4.75 and 5"(this is the answer i got from a salesman) SO what exactly does this mean? Will these wheels stick out further than stock? Or set in? How much? Sorry but I'm a real noob when it comes to aftermarket wheels. Also have a new RLC Fab front bumper coming and plan on wrapping the wheels with 305/70/17 Maxxis big horn M/Ts and currently have a 3" body lift, aftermarket keys, and add-a-leafs in the back, and 2" spacers up front. Anyone see a problem wit this combination? Thank you all in advance.

I can tell you that stock wheels are +25 offset, so the new wheels will make the tire stick out 15mm more, about 3/5 of an inch. The tires are about 1.5" wider than stock, so that divided in half (for two sides if you put the tire on the center of the wheel) give 3/4" wider. So if you add those two together then your new wheels and tires will stick out 1.35" than stock if my calculations are right.
