Default 18x9 or 18x10 wheels?

I'm getting ready to buy new wheels, I like the Jesse James Lawless 8 in chrome. They offer in both the 18x9 and 18x10 wheel size. I currently run 35's on stock rims, does anyone know if I can run the 18x10's without rubbing?

I have 2" fender flares and figure that the cab-over camper would ride nicer with a wider truck stance.

Thanks!

Sorry, I can't find the backspacing for these wheels anywhere. If you know the backspacing or offset, i could telll you which on will fit better and/or how much further out they will stick than stock.

Looks like backspace is 4.56 on the 18x10. Do you think they'll rub with just a leveling kit? I'm planning on replacing my leveling "spacer" with the Kore leveling kit which may raise it another inch.

Thanks!

Looks like if you run the same tires you are running now (in an 18") the new wheels will stickthe tire out2.44" further on either side of the truck. I can pretty much guarantee you that they will rub, sorry [:@]. I'm not sure about the kore kit, but I would think it will still rub.

I had some 17x9's that were pushing the tires out 1.75" further than stock and I was running 305/65r17's (32.6x12r17), they weren't too close to rubbing, but a 35x12.50 would have definitely rubbed.
