With those spacers you both should be fine. I really didn't think they made spacers that thick, but I learned something new tonight. Just remember, the thicker the spacer the more you are moving your rims out from the body. Depending on the tire you are planning on putting on the rim, you may be able to get away with a thinner spacer. Silver, PM me what tires you are looking to put on the rims we were talking about earlier and I will figure out what size spacer you need to get the rims to sit the same place relative to the body as they do stock.

Also, sorry for the slow responses but I am watching the new LOST

No, you will be narrower by about 3/4 of an inch if you compare just stock rim to the new rim since they are the same width. Stock was 5.5 BS and the rims you posted are 6.25 BS, meaning that they will be moved in 3/4 of an inch compared to your stock rims. Now when you add a 2" spacer into the equation it moves your rims out 1 1/4 from where the stock rims would have sat without spacers when you factor in the new backspace.

Basically, if you continue to run the 2" spacers that you are running with the stock rims you will be 3/4 of an inch narrower than you are now bc the new rims have 3/4" more backspace than stock and they are the same width as stock.
