Backspacing and offset go hand in hand, two measurements from different parts of the rim. The offset is the direction and amount the hub surface is from the middle of the rim. A minus number will be closer to the backside of the rim and a positive number will be closer to the front. 0mm will be centered. Backspacing is the distance from the backside of the hub surface to the backside of the rim. So you can't have one number without having another, as the chart shows. Stick with the 0mm or a positive number and you should be good to go as far as leveled trucks go. And try to stay away from 10" wide rims.

Ok I just talked to the guy again and he said he calculated wrong. They are 20x9 0mm offset and 5" backspace. Now I just have to decide which one to get 20x9 +18mm or 20x9 0mm. The 0 offset looks like it might stick out too far. It looks like 2" past the OEM fender flares with 33/12.5r20 MT tires.

Given your choices, I'd go with the +18. I think you'll be very pleased with the look. Just a little less than an an inch stick out compared to the 0. Its all in the look you're going for though. Either one will look great on your truck.

Thanks everyone for all the help! I ended up going with the 20x9 0mm offset! The rims will be here the end of next week! Can't wait! Now I just have to save up for tires. Here are some pics of the rims. I got the off eBay for a great deal! $525 plus $59 shipping!
