Tired of searching need help on wheel size

I know this question gets asked all the time but I can't find a for sure answer. I am getting the BMF novakanes for my wife's 2012 FX4. 305/55/20 terra grapplers are the tires. My choice is between the 20x9 with 0 offset and the 20x10 with -19 offset. I understand the 20x10's will stick out farther but how much? I want an aggressive look but don't want it to look stupid. On the other hand I don't want to pay $2500 plus for it to look close to stock. I will be adding a leveling kit (probably just 2") so will the 20x10's fit without rubbing to bad? If anyone has these pics would be awesome!! Especially pics from the front and back to show how far they stick out. Thanks in advance and if this needs to be moved to the wheel forum let me know.

using an offset calculator (just the first one that comes up on google) you can figure it out, theres also wheel spec threads, but ill help you out haha. the x9 will stick out 64mm from stock, and the x10 will stick out 96 mm from stock. so youll either stick out 2.5 or 4 more inches. the 305 in 12.5 inches wide, which will add another inch and a half. guessing by the tires size that this truck isnt lifted, x10 -19 will look nearly stupid imho. id go with the x9

It might be beneficial if your new wheels have a little more offset. That size tire on a stock offset rim will rub on the sway bar on tight turns--not a lot, but it will make noise and rub the corner off the tread.

this is true. 12.5 inch mud tires will rub on factory wheels. i think op is trying to decide between 9 or 10 inch wide wheels with different offsets.

here is a link to a pic thread. the first truck is running 20x9 -18 i believe. if you ran the x9 wheels youd stick out a half inch less, if you ran the x10 wheels youd stick out a half inch further
