I need help determining if my tires and wheels can be used on my RAM with a lift kit

Okay so i ordered a 6 inch Zone lift, and the instructions say a 17x9 wheel should have 4.53 back space with -12mm offset, however i already have 35's on my truck with 17x9s with 18mm offset and 5.71 backspace.
Will i be okay or do I need new wheels or a spacer or something? Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

First, we only recommend direct fit parts. Please understand that. As far as the wheels, if they are not rubbing or giving you trouble, they should be fine. However, I recommend that you contact the company that gave you the recommendation and question why.
