Yes.
9 inche rim width will work fine with the 12.5 wide tire and since we have a 5.5 inch bolt
pattern that translates to 139.7mm which means that it has the proper bolt pattern.

No problem. Just remember if you ever need to convert from inches to mm that there are
25.4mm for every 1 inch. Also if your not sure what the suggested rim width is for your
tire you can go the manufacturers website and they almost always have a chart for each
tire.

LOL!

the backspacing for that wheel is 5 inches according to 4wheelparts.com so I think that
means they will stick out from the truck a little more than the stock wheels. Not completely
sure of that, input from someone else might be able to clear that up.

ahh ic, cuz mine stick out just a tad as they are now. For some reason i think theyll be the same, idk why but 5 inch spacing sounds famliar to the stock off road rims. Guess someone elses input will confirm or deny. ....Waiting game.

While I don't know this for a fact, I suspect the off road rims have a bit more of an offset then 'factory'. My truck had 16's and I picked up a set of off road rims for it. Noticed the tires stick out a bit now even though the sizes are comparable to the 16's.
