Wheels and terrain

Alright guys...heres my situation. I really like these wheels, saw them on another FX4 in town today and they are sweet but he had street tires on them. If i were to put 33's on these 20's, would i have to worry about ever dinging them up? I go on a lot of loose gravel roads...what do think? i dont really go mudding but everyone once in awhile go off road just through fields and really rough roads. will they get messed up at all?

I personally wouldnt want to pay that much to even risk em.... even though they would probably be fine.... Yet, I dont think that wheel in the link fits ours trucks... We have a 6X135 bolt pattern.

I have a friend that has 22s on 35s which would technically be about the same side wall. He goes offroading all the time and his wheels look brand new, he just keeps them clean all the time and a good coat of wax.

Nope, afraid not..... But that same manufacturer has some similar wheels that do. Take a look at their fitment guide.

There are plenty of wheel manufactures that make close to the same wheel.

33's on 20" rims probably would be just fine on mild off-roading as long as you don't air down too much (In case you don't know, airing your tires down off road can help GREATLY with traction and ride quality...) You'd have approximately 6" of sidewall, which compares to approx 7" of sidewall with my 255/70 R17's. Again, as long as you don't rockcrawl at low tire pressures, you should be fine.
