Go measure them and see what they are, or check and see if it's stamped on the inside of the wheel. Or post what wheel it is and we can try to narrow it down from there.

Email me a pic of the wheels and I'll post it. If they're Motometal 951's, they're almost always a -12 offset with our bolt pattern IIRC

I'm stuck at a classical music concert right now . . . but I'll post that pic up when I can get on my laptop. I can't ever seen to accurately measure offset and back spacing when I've tried with a ruler, etc either

Lower offset or backspace to compensate for that loss of an inch. But go to low and your wheel bearings will hate you.

Are the wheels you have now 20x10 or 20x9 though? Because your first post says 20x9, but you just said they're 10"..

Moto Metal 954's, discontinued.
20x10
-18 offset
4.79" backspacing

I wouldn't recommend a wheel with less than 4.5" of backspacing due to bearing stress, so your gonna lose some of your width going to a 9" wheel.

Ope, found em. They're discontinued 954s. Looks like they were available in only 20x10 with a -18 offset for our bolt patter.
