Default Will 16x9 metal moto's with 4.57" backspacing work?

A friend has a set of 16x9 metal moto's he'll sell to me for 100 bucks. I need new tires soon anyways so I was wondering 1. If these will fit 2. How much is it going to stick out? and 3. What size tires for a 2.5" lift (not BB true suspension lift).
Thanks.

My guess is "no". I'm thinking .68" more back spacing than stock. Ooops, didn't see 2" lift.....still think it'll be close (rub inside).

If you can test fit them, then that is your answer. I would do that, then you will know for sure...

I might just buy them anyways. I could always resell them for a little bit more than that I would assume.. retail is like 140 a piece.. but i'll test them out soon hopefully
