Default I need some help choosing wheels

I have been looking for the past 2 days and can't seem to find what I need. I am putting 37x13.50r20 tires and need pics of 97-03 trucks to see what size wheel I need to get. I don't want the tire to stick out past the fender to much. Any kind of input is appreciated. Any pics and wheel info with 13.50 wide tire will help

La. I am not worried about the laws but yes I have friends that have gotten a ticket for that before. I also do not like the look it they stick out more than about 2 inches

this is all based off the offset of the wheels really! My Daily Driver has 17s on 37s, but the wheels have a gnarly offset, so I had to run spacers and they still stick out about 1/2" (rear is better than front)

Are you worried about the look of your tires ? There are laws against tires sticking out of the wells? Choose by thinking.

Go with a 9in wide rim with a 5.5 backspacing or greater and they will not stick out very far at all.

Edit: I reread the post you have a 97-03 im not sure if yalls stock backspacing is the same as 04-08,, if so then what I said still holds true.

I am not worried about the laws. I ended up getting a set of 22x9.5s
