Hello again it's your friendly neighborhood artard with another stupid question. This time my lack of knowledge takes me into the land of wheels and tires. So I have read the sticky posts about offset and backspace and kinda look like this :confused:. So I am gonna ask a wheel and tire question and feel free to flame me out if necessary if the question is too stupid.

I have an '07 with stock 17" wheels and tires. I don't know what the offset or backspace is. I found a set of ProComp 8101 wheels for a pretty good price. The backspacing on that wheel is 4.75" and the offset is -6.6mm. The wheel itself is a 17x9. Will the wheel stick out away from the fender at all? I don't mind if it does or doesn't, just curious. If I increased my tire size from a 31 to a 33 would I be able to fit them with no rubbing issues? My apologies for the lack of knowledge but that's why I am here, to learn from my peers.

Ok first the big answer: Only a question that is unasked is a stupid one.
As far as the rims go they should fit. I also am not as into rims and tires as some of the others here but these are what I have on my 07:

I have the 20x8.5's which are very easy to keep clean due to them being Teflon coated.
