Ok so would a 20x9 with 35mm offset sit right? (5.0 BP) They are the blacksrt8 wheels that come on a jeep.

Would the factory 265/50/20 tires be ok on a 9 inch wheel? ( factory wheel is 8")

We are looking at these in gloss black.

The tires will fit but you might have a little stretching, and that's a maybe.

The 20x9, 35mm, 5x127 will fit...those are the same specs as my wheels. They do stick out a bit which I like...the stock offset is something like 53 or 56mm. Looks alot less minivan-ish with the more aggressive offset. The GC replica wheels come with 9 in front and 10 in back (would guess that is OK but dont know for sure)

I am thinking 1" of stretch is not worth another $800 (approx) for a new set of tires.

It's not even 1 inch of stretch. The stock tires are a little wider then the wheels already.

If you do a 9inch in the front and a 10 inch in the rear you won't be able to rotate your tires. They won't last as long if you can't rotate them.
