Default 18x12s on RWD 05?

A local guy has a set of Dick Cepek wheels for sale for a very decent price, but I have a feeling they'd look strange on my truck. They are 18x12s all around, but my truck is RWD without any fender flares. I don't know how much backspacing they have, but I think they were on his GMT800 4wd Tahoe.

I'm not even sure what size tire that I could fit on there.

I do know that if I were to somehow get them to work, then the handling of my truck should get a LOT better

I don't think they will fit under the fenders.

They would stick out about 4.5'' or 5'' depending on the backset of the wheel.

they've got 4.53" backspacing, so about 7.5" on the front side. How backspacing do my stock 17x7.5" wheels have?

Yeah, I think I'm going to pass on these. The price is dang good though at $100 per wheel. I just don't want my truck looking like that...
