Question New wheels. Opinions please

So I got a SMOKIN deal on a set of 20's yesterday such a good deal that I bought them sight unseen just on word alone. So if I can't use them no big deal. I am just not sure on how they will look. They are a 20x9.5 so I can stuff a pretty serious tire on them but they come right to the lip of the fender, and i was just wanting your guys opinion's.

Just weighed them they weigh 36lbs. each. My only concern is do they stick out too far?

I think they look nice. What size tires are you planning to run?I also have 20s on mine but I'm running 305/50 R20 tires and I have a big issue with rubbing in the front fender and also on big dips I hit the top of the fender and I'm on a front leveling kit. Now that I want to drop the truck a bit it's really becoming an issue. If u go on smaller tires it shouldn't be an issue...

I was thinking either 275/45s or 295/45s but i just dont want the tire to stick out.
I'm on a 3/4 drop.

If the back spacing is correct, the 275/45's will definitely fit, a bunch of guys here run them with their 2/4 drops. Not sure about the 295's, but I bet that they would fit on the rear if you want to stagger the size front to rear...not 100% sure about that though.

imo the middle spikes look horrible. If your only going to run a 275 or 295, I'd get a lighter wheel thats only 8-8.5" wide.

Well they are a heck of a lot better than the stock 16's IMO, and the price was right.
I just measured the back spacing it is like 5.625.
