Heres my 09 with 20" BMF Novakanes and 285/55/20 Nitto Terra Grapplers. The rims are 20 x 9 with 0 offset and I believe 4.5" BS. They easily clear the upper control arm. I have 1/2" clearance between the front valance and they slightly rub on my mud flaps. If I didn't have them on there they would not rub.

The tires are 285/55/20 so I think that comes out to be a 32.4 X 11.7 . The rims might be 5" BS though, I'm not sure yet. From some tire and wheel calculators they say a 20 X 9 inch wheel with 0 offset is 5" BS.

That's not enough backspacing. The OEM 17 and 18 inch wheels have 5.5 inches of bs. The OEM 20's have 6.5 inches of bs.

what i meant to say was 17x8 1\2 with 5 inches of backspacing......my bad. i am curious to see what different backspacing looks like without a leveling kit. the walker evans wheels i am looking at are 17x8 1\2 with 5 inches of backspacing. i am also looking at robby gordon wheels that are 17x8 with 4 1\8 inches of backspacing. i don't want the wheels to stick out to far, i just want to see examples of different backspacing to give me an idea of what it might look like.
