Default 04 Ram Wheel Fitment with 6" Fabtech

I have an 04 four door ram 4x4 and I trying to decide what wheels will fit the 6" Fabtech lift. I am planning on 35X12.5X18 or 20. I am looking at getting the XD monster wheels. Ive searched this forum and heard 4.5"backspacing but im not too sure about what offset is needed. Any help would be great. Ive been searching for a good month but I may have skipped over a thread, so if there is one just point me there! Thanks

I would STRONGLY advise against this kit. It is poorly designed for the '02-'05 torsion bar front trucks and puts strain on front end components - especially the CVs which it places at poor angles. MANY guys have had multiple CV axle failures while using this kit. Plus it's just cheap as it doesn't use a full sub-frame but instead just a crossmember and doesn't replace small, weak stock parts like the tie rod ends.
Also, the parent company of Fabtech/Superlift is in bankruptcy. so replacement parts down the road could be iffy.

If you have got to go bargain basement, there are still much better lift kits out there for around the same money...

Thanks for the info HammerZ71. What lift would you recommend? I Personally want something that will last the longest and have a decent ride. I will be doing a little of highway driving, town driving and offroading on some weekends.
