Whats the backspacing on them? Even though the width is different, they could have different backspacing and sit in the same spot.

Thanks man! I ordered mine w/ the intent of bodydropping it, so they tuck into the fenders nicely. I'm not sure what the minimum would be, but the 6" BS will tuck them inside the fenders. Maybe 5.5 or so?

You would want more than 5.5". I am running 20x8s with a 5" backspacing and they are real close to tucking.

I looked at the specs on the wheels and the only option for a 20x8.5 in a 6x5.5 bolt pattern is 5.264" backspacing, which will not tuck.
