Opinions? Help me decide!

Hey guys I just got a new F-150 last month. I've been looking for the platinum wheels to put on, but am not having much luck. I found some that are pretty similar, but they are chrome. Let me know what you guys think. Along with these wheels I'll be puttin' a 2" drop in the back. The wheels are ATX Clash 20s". The truck in the picture is a match of my truck, but I don't have 4X4. Here is the link, I don't know how to get the picture on here.

Those will look pretty cool but with a 5" backspacing they will stick out of the fenders pretty good. Some people like that look - some dont. Just wanted to mention that before you spend money on wheels.

Well I don't want to raise the front because I don't want to much space between the
20s" and the wheel wells, and I think the back would just look better lowered with those wheels since my truck isn't 4X4. These wheels are only 9.5" wide, what is the width of the OEM XLT 18s", because I don't want them to stick out! Thanks guys.

OEM 18s are 7.5"

Thanks, I don't think 2" will make that big of a difference when I put them on. OEMs could be a little wider anyway. Jury's still out, I haven't decided yet.

What is the backspacing on the OEM's? 2" on top of the backspacing difference, if any, would that appear to stick out more? I'm completely guessing, since I'm only just learning what backspacing is. The wheels look good, I'm just, personally, not a fan of chrome.
