Default To the folks with aftermarket wheels

I'm looking to get some new 20's on my truck and was was hoping to start a string of folks posting pictures of their tire and wheel choices with sizes, offset, and backspacing. I don't know if someone has tried this already, but I didn't realize how difficult choosing wheels and tires would be.

Only the 20" factory chrome clads.....good enough for me since I would not look forward to dropping money on new 20's. I have to focus on getting either 18 or 19" for the wife's Charger anyway...

If you are 2wd, I think the wheels aligning even with the body look nice...add a good-looking tire and these trucks have a balanced/mean stance.
If a 4wd, I always opt for more backspace (sticks the wheel out more), but make sure you are prepared for either mud flaps or aftermarket flares (like Bushwacker) to help save the paint. The wider the stance, the better you crawl over rocks. [8D]

Just my 2 cents.....good luck.

Ihave the good old standby Mickey Thompson Classic II's. Very strong, good looking and not too expensive. The new Dick Cepeks look great too and are around the same $$.

20x10 ultra stealths, not sure on the back spacing, but I clear 35's with no rubbing on the spindles or sway bar

So glad you made this thread, I'm shopping for wheels and tires myself. I can't decide on nothing, the second I think I know what I want, I find something else or I think I'll just save my money and stay stock. Too many damn choices. Currently have the 17" aluminum with 275 goodyear ATS. The goodyears aren't that bad, so debating whether I should upgrade the tires or wait until their cooked. Also debating to go to a larger wheel. So obviously thirsty for opinions and ideas.
Think these are my favoriteso far:
