Default Would I need spacers for the rear??

The rim specs are:
18" x 10.5" for the rear (+56mm offset, 7.88" backspace).

This would be on the rear of my T/A.

Sweet those are the exact wheels I was lookin at. So a 1/4" spacer to bring it closer to the outside of the fender? Have a full rear shot?

you dont need spacers or BFH unless you go with a 315 or larger tire. I have 18x10.5s with +58mm offset and 295-35-18 tires. NO mods NEEDED at all.
