This is what the wheel/tire place said:

These wheels have a +14mm offset. That is more than normally used with a lift kit, but it all depends on the lift kit itself as to whether or not you will have any issues. I would check with the manufacturer of the lift kit and see if they think a 20x8.5 wheel with 5.25" of backspacing will work. The typical backspacing with a lift is 4.5" to 5", so these are just outside of the norm. and should work as long as your lift doesn't drastically change the angle of your control arms.

 

update:

fabtech said they can only recommend what they have tested, which was a 17 with 4'' backspacing.

 

Installer said he would prefer a negative backspace, at least 10mm to 18mm.

Now im all turned around!

Help me please when you get a chance, I ordered the fabtech lift today with the steering stabilizer, but i sure as hell want to be able to turn my wheels once they are on!

 

at least he didnt say "help me scratch my package" that would not have gotten much feedback

 

lol, i have people who do that for me!

 

I went Moto Metal 951's as well with a 305/50/20 Nitto TG for a tire. I dont get them put on for a week and a half so I cant comment further.

 

tell me if this sounds right...

with a 20x9, close to 0 offset
with a 20x10, in the -10- -18 range

this should keep me at 4.5''ish back?

 

bump for a little more input so i can put this issue to rest....please and thank you!
