Looks like it should fit fine though I am not sure why a staggered setup for a truck. Why don't you go 9.5" all around? I have 19 x 9.5" with a 40 offset. I think I now want to go with 20s.

Oh yeah....I forgot about the BMW staggered setup. I do not remember what effects a staggered setup may have. I remember I posted the same question on the W203 forum. It has something to do with handlinr. But since we haev a truck, I don't think we would push it to that extreme. I think you may have a responsive steernig since the contact patch is not that large? You may want to do a search. I hope that thread has not been lost due to the crash last month.
