OE 18 vs OE 20 ?

Ok i think i might have my fabtech + OE 20 question answered. I was searching and found this guy that had the exact same thing i want done fabtech 6" + AS and a 5" block. He is also 2wd. He has the OE 18's and a 12.5" wide tire. Dont the 20's stick out even more than the 18's? meaning they would fit better? And i want to use a 305 which is a 12" wide tire. From looking at this guys truck and set up my OE 20's with 305/60/20 should work fine right?

Here is the guys truck-

I believe the OEM 20's are 20x8 or 20x8.5. They are a little wider than the 18's. I would say go for it.

I thought I've seen on here before several times that the OE's, whether 18 or 20, are 7.5 wide, but I could be wrong. Wandell could help...

Is there a pic of the ball joint angles on that truck? I really like the way that truck looks but I just don't know about stacking the spacer.

The oem 20's are 8 or 8.5 inches wide. Whether or not they will work with the lift, I don't know.

Well, the width i'm not worring about. They are 20x8.5. I just want to know if the 20s stick out more than the 18's or if they have more backspacing. I'm pretty sure they stick out more. But i have ordered the 6" fabtech, 2" AS Level, and a procomp 5.5" block with AS U-bolts. I will post up plenty of pictures at the end of this month.
