using spacers??

I found some wheels on ebay that i like but they are 20x9 with a 20 offset. People tell me these wont work with just a leveling kit and 35 inch tires. So i was wondering if they would fit if i used some type of wheel spacers? Also if this wont work either would these wheels work with a 6 inch lift? Thanks

Wait for Wandell to come around, he should be able to tell you now that the backspacing is posted.

Wheel spacers will make the problem worse. To fit 35x12.50's with only a leveling kit you will need to use oem wheels or one with almost identical width and backspacing.

Yes, as long as the lift manufacturer doesn't specify another backspacing.
