Wheel/Tire help please

So I need some help with getting new wheels and/or tires on my truck. I have an 08 Lariat 4x4 with the stock 20's and a leveling kit with the factory flares. I am wanting to get the XD Monsters and TireRack gives me a choice of 20x9 and 20x10. The 20x9 has an offset of 35mm and a backspacing of 6.37. The 20x10 has an offset of -12mm and a backspacing of 5.04. Which one is the best one to get for my truck? Also, I am wanting to use the stock tires (275/55/20) until they wear out and then get some trail grapplers or something comparable in 33's or something close to it, which ones will fit my stock tires and leave me the ablity to upgrade later?

Thanks

I would go with the 20x9 +35. They are close to stock and will tuck in the fender well very nicely. The 20x10 -12 will push them out pretty far.

With the 20x9 +35 you can put 275/65/20 on there if you want.

IMHO

Would it push them past the flares or just out to the edge of them? I think I want to them to stick out more than the stock ones do. I think them sticking out a bit would give it a more aggressive look than the stock.

A 9 inch wheel with 6.3 inches of BS is gonna stick out about 3/4 inch farther than your OEM wheels. The other wheel is gonna stick out about 3 inches farther than your stock wheels.
