Default Rim Width. 8.5 or 10

OK. I can't get the search function to work for me right now and I need info quick.

I'm looking at the 20" Rockstarts with a 305/55/20 tire. 33x12.5x20

They come in the 10" and 8.5" width.

I have a 2.5 HBS leveling kit on my 4wd FX4 (2004)

Any idea on if the 10" rim will work? Or should I stick with the 8.5"?

Also, how much differece in appearance is there with the 1.5" rim width difference?

Thanks for all the help.

you will have no rubber over hang on the rim with the 10 in wheels...8.5 would be better IMO...mine are 9in wide with the same size tire.

Whats your backspace?

The 20x10's are 4.5"
The 20x8.5's are 6.13"

Do these sound correct?

Thanks,

Rockstars are so played out. I would get a different wheel.
