It's one of those "to each their own" deals. More of an everyday street queen look.
I'm not talking about the 20x14's being stupid, I'm talking about mounting a tire that's not recommended for a wheel stupid.

I my self think the wheels look sick, and would opt out for the widest available. But I'd also match the correct tire, with the correct wheel, or I wouldn't do it.

Like the opt mentioned not wanting to go higher than, what was it a body lift? Come on.

That is one insanely heavy wheel and tire combo. More than anything, I would be worried about wear and tear on the truck.

I don't take my truck off-roading much at all. The most it sees is some gravel and maybe a puddle of mud! I wanted to have 20x14 and some nitto 420s for the summer and whenever winter came back around put my 35s and 17s back on it. And this is all just a maybe, not for sure if I'm gonna go through with it or not, just seeing what everyone's opinions are

I have 20x12s with 1.5" spacers and mine rubbed like crazy with a leveling kit and 33x12.5s EDIT: just saw you said 35s... YEAH RIGHT!! No way on this planet your getting those to turn Also is this a daily? Because your going to Hate not being able to park or go through any drive throughs ever again. My truck is to wide to fit through most places like going through drive throughs at the bank or even parking I take up line to line. It's a bit unpractical

Yup it's true, I've had mine for less than 1,500 miles and I'll be rebuilding the rear axle seals this weekend. Anyone who says different just doesn't want to face the music, however it's the price you pay to have wide setting wheels and tires.
