I'm not sure where you got the 2 inches from...but that's 3" plus some off the actual measurement. Jack your truck up, take a wheel off. Lay it flat so you can see the mounting hub. Lay a flat ruler or something across the lip of the rim and take a measuring tape and measure down from that ruler to the mounting flange on the back of the wheel. That's backspacing. It should still be 5.2".

Like this.

my bad i was goin off the front not the back
thing i dont get is if the bs on a 17x9 is 4.75" and the offset is -6mm the bs would be less than 4.5" rite??
