Stuck on Wheel and Tire Dilema, Need help...badly...

Alright, i am held up right now on my wheel and tire decisions, if they will fit or not. I have a 05 F150 Screw 2WD with a pro comp standard 6" lift, and a 3" PA body lift. I am going to be ordering new wheels and tires here this week and i need the correct specs on the wheels and tires to go with. Heres my options, tell me what you think, or give me some suggestions.

OPTION 1: 20x10 wheels with 4.79 in. of backspacing. 37x13.50R20 tires. Will this rub, or better yet, even fit? (TIRES - KUHMO M/T KL71's)

OPTION 2: 20x10 wheels with 4.79 in. of backspacing. 35x12.50R20 tires.
Is a 12.50 tire too small for a 10" wide wheel?

Some say 35s will look too small on my lift but keep in mind iam a 2wd and i sit lower than you 4x4's. Check out this truck for example, i blieve he has a 8" CST and he is running 20"s and 35"s, looks really good in my opinion. Is there a difference between mine and his truck? Heres a pic...

go with the 37x13.5 your truck will look better. even though your tuck is a 2wd it will still be big a 35'' tire in my opinion would look way to small.

It's a 4x4 and you are 2x4 right?

I believe you will rub with 37's...

I think 37's will rub with those wheels because of the width and 4.79 inch backspacing. If the wheels were 9 inch wide, with 5 inches of backspacing or more, I think they would fit.

I'm 2 WD with 10" of lift and 35's, most of the time they don't look too small at all, i like them a lot, and i even get a little rubbing time to time going over things or cranking the sterring wheel all the way

35's will look fine, the 37's i think will be too wide
Here's mine

i was plannin on the kuhmo kl71's.

What iam not getting is this. Right now my current setup is just the standard 6inch pro comp lift and iam running 17x9 wheels and 35x12.50 tires with no problems at all. Now iam getting a 3" body lift on top of my 6" pro comp. Now why cant i up my tire size 2"s and my wheel size to a 20".
