Don't plan on wheeling with those. That's my tip for the day

Do it and post some pics. I think it would look good with some toyo proxes or nitto 420's. But if you plan on going offroad 20's would be a bad idea.

It's going to look like a bro-truck but maybe thats what the OP is after?

OP - it will fit as long as you calculate the backspacing properly.

I think with that combination and lift, as long as you aren't going to wheel it, you may get away without any rubbing.

I'm thinking turning lock to lock it might rub but its hard no say most of us never run a rim bigger then a 18 inch.
