Default Fitting stock rims

I have a 6 inch lift on my ram and I wanna throw on the stock 20's but I hear that the back spacing is too deep but I have seen people rolling with them on. I was just wondering if anyone knew how I could get these to fit without them rubbing on my spindles, any help would be appreciated.

Yea i had to use 1/4 inch spacers for my stock tires just so the front wheels could make a full rotation. My tires now are still stock width just an inch taller

New wheels would be your best long term bet because apparently wheel spacers are bad for our trucks

ive figured that out the hard way, i currently have aftermarket rims and i have 1/4 in spacers and ive sheared just about all the studs on the front drivers side 2 times now which is why i was wanting to go back to just the stocks with some MT's. there has to be a good safe way of doing this cause ive seen it before.
