Sorry, another backspace question

Sorry guys, I still can't seem to grasp backspace and offset.

Can anyone tell me if a 20X10 wheel with 5.5" of bs and a 0 offset would work on an f-150 with 35" tires and 6" fabtech lift? If it would, what would that look like? Would it stick out farther then stock?

Thanks

The other option in this wheel is one with 4.5" of bs and -25 mm offset. Would this stick out crazily far? Anyone have pics of their trucks with wheels something like these?

This wheel will stick out 2.5 inches farther than the ome wheels.
You didn't give the width on the second wheel.

Thanks Wandell. Do you think that on a lifted truck, having the tire stick out 2.5" over stock would look ok, or should it be further out. I want a nice wider stance look, but not too much.

The other wheel was also a 20X10. How much will this one stick out?

I just can't get over how hard of a time I am having finding wheels that I not only like, but are the correct size. Just when it seems I have found one, it is not offered with the correct bs or os. From reading alot of other people's posts though, I can see that I am not alone.

Since it has an inch less backspacing, it would stick out an inch farther. 2.5 inches would look fine. I wouldn't want a wheel that stuck out 3.5 inches farther personally.

Would a 9" wheel with 4.5" of backspace stick out the same 2.5"?

Yes, a 9 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inch of bs will also stick out 2.5 inches farther than the oem wheels.
