Default Aftermarket wheel opinion

2008 Ram 1500 4X4

Im considering getting a set of aftermarket wheels. I have a set picked out that I like. They come 20x9 and 20x10 with either a 5.5" backspacing or a 4.5" backspacing.

Do you guys think the 20x10 w/ 4.5" backspacing would stick out too far? I dont have flares but plan on getting them at some point.

Should I just stick with the 20x9 w/ 4.5" backspacing.

Biggest tire I ever plan on running is a 35x12.5x20.

Thanks

20 x 9s or even 10s on 4.5" are pretty much stock. Just look at anyones truck you seen when you are out in town and see what you think

I believe the backspacing on a stock 20" is 5.75. I was a little concerned with a 1" wider wheel and 1.25" less backspacing. Wouldn't this essentially make the wheel stick out another 1.75"?
