Default 20"x9" or 18"x9.5" wheel info please

Hi,

I'm new here and I'm in the process of buying a set of Pro comp 6001 either 20"x9" or 18".9.5" with 4.5" back spacing. These where not my first choice as I wanted the 8101 same model just black but I guess Pro comp is saying they have been discontinued.

Anybody have this combination?

I would like the tires to stick out a little and I would like to run the 20" but with only 9" available I'm a little worried that they want stickout.

I want to install fender flares after.

Thanks any pictures of some one running a wheel diameter and offset like i want to buy would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have the 18" by 9.5" size in my wheels and they do stick out an inch or 2 from the body. If you are looking to use your truck to offroad go with the smaller wheel size, if not and your truck is mainly going to be on the street then go with the 20's. If you do end up buying the 20's and they don't stick out like you had hoped then you can always buy wheel spacers.

It will mainly be for on road as I have to haul my fifth wheel camper but I like the off road look even if it stay on the road.

Thanks,

Look at my album. I have pro comps 1059's at 18x9.5. They stick out a bit. But it will come down to the width of your tires. Tires can stick out on an 18x8 rim if the tire is wide enough.

Sorry, I forgot to mention in those pics I have 1.5" wheel adapters. My tires are 13.5" wide. So that makes the tires stick out as if they were 15" wide.
