not 20's. they are 17's. with 35/12.50. truck is just leveled. i would get new shocks if i was going to leave it that way. cause they do bottom out. i am planning a lift here in the near future. and the 35's have a slight rub on the wheel liner when you hit bumps when the wheel is cut.

your truck looks sick! i really like the way 17s look with 35s. but, after seeing ramhunter's with 20s, i may have to reconnsider since i already have the wheels, just need the tires.

if you stick with the stocker wheels you will need wheel spacers,i am pretty sure.

stock wheels with 35's and a level needs no spacers if you have a leveling kit. You may rub slightly but you can get by. However a 1.25" spacer would be beneficial.
33's, is a stock size on the 20's so def no spacer even remotely needed. A spacer is all for looks at that point as well as a level kit.


Also, 5-135??? What is this? Lug pattern is 5x5.5" I believe and offset is 0 I think which brings the stock wheel backspacing to 5" on the 20's. A smaller backspacing would push the wheel outwards more.
