To answer your original question I'd go with 20's. I think rockstars look pretty bad in 18's but fantastic in 20's. That's the trouble I'm having trying to decide on rims. I have to get 18 inch rims because I don't want to buy new tires too.

I have XD rockstar 20x12 and personally im not a fan of them, They came on the truck when i bought it. With a 3" level kit i run 305/55/20 Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs the smaller sidewall makes for a rougher ride, the tires are pretty expensive around $300 each. If i had the money to get new wheels and tires right now i would get 18x9 wheels.

I'd personally go with the 20's. But it just depends on what look you're going for, and what you're wanting to spend. I just put 20" XD Monsters on mine with Nitto Terra Grappler's and I was out the door for under $2k.
I have a 2" leveling kit and I have no rubbing issues.
I can't tell much difference in the ride of the truck, or the way it drives. It feels a little more stiff with the the leveling kit, but not bad.

If you want us the truck to work better off road, go for the 18X9. I was always told that for offroading, you want the rim size about half of the tire. If running 35s, you want 17 to 18 for rims. If you want to run 40s or more, the 20 inch rims would be fine. I like my tires to flex more.
