Default Questions about wheels for my truck.

Hello first time posting. I am trying to buy new wheels for my truck. The wheel I am looking at is 18 x 9 19 mm offset and they backspacing 5.07. I don't understand the backspacing. Do I need to modify anything on my truck? Will The 19 mm look good on my truck? The tires I will be getting are 265/60/18. I am only asking because I am finding some tires that do fit my truck according to wheels figuration on the site I am getting my tires and wheels from, but the only difference I can see the wheels they have listed are 20mm and mention nothing about backspacing. Right now I have standard 245/70/16 wheels. Thanks.

Those wheels will fit fine, I have 20 x 9 wheels with the same offset of 19 mm. The tires are a good fit too.

I appreciate your response and help. Now I am looking at the 20x9 version of the wheel, but it is 18mm. I know the smaller the number the more the tire/rim will stick out. Is 18mm going to be to far in or will it not be noticeable compared to 19mm? I saw your truck and it looks nice. It is the only comparable picture I can find to get an idea what mine would look like. These are the wheels I am looking at.
