Default XD monster owners... please read

Anybody that has XD monsters, I need some advice. Am looking at getting these, as they are wicked bad @$$...

I know my stock rims are 20x9. Am looking at a 4" lift for my truck (08 2wd 1500 QC). Want to get new rims that will set the tires out a bit, but still want to run a 33" tire. otherwise, would be going to a 6" lift and 35's.

The question I have is, should I go with the 20x9's with 6.5" offset?

Or should I go with the 20x10's with about 5" offset? (Am leaning towards these... but will tires work with this?)

I will still be running my 275-60-20 cooper zeons, but not sure of the rim... any suggestions?

You woould want a 0-negative offest in order for your tires to stick out. Offset is measured in mm and backspace is measured in inches, so the 20x10 rim your looking at with 5in of backspacing would have 0mm of offset. The higher negative offset you have the farther out they will be.

the 20x10's are a -12 offset, where would that put them? Im still not real familiar with the rims / offset / backspacing...

They will stick out some I can't say exactly how much. I think that's what my first set of 20s were and they were perfect but I had a 36/13.50/20 tire on them
