You think I’d need to do any lifting or modifying to the body if I were to run the 20x9s? I’d go with some thinner tires to help with the bigness lol, I kinda guessed I would need some spacers from reading all night so I appreciate the help! I appreciate all the information everyone’s leaving this place is the bullocks man thanks again ☝

2 points here:

1. I ran 20" Explorer wheels for a bit - the ones in my profile photo. The truck rode like a lumber wagon, so I sold those and went back to 17" wheels. It rides way better with the 17s since the tire has a lot more sidewall.

2. I have 17 x 8 Mustang wheels on mine now with 265/70-17 Michelin LTX M/S tires. (Those tires are 31.5" diameter.) And I have 1.25" adapters. I had to trim a bit off the rear axle studs, but the fronts were fine. That combination is about as close to the front upper control arm as I am comfortable running. But, you have a rwd truck, and the front suspension is different, so I don't know how that would fit on your truck. There are no clearance issues on the rear with my combo. Based on my experience and what others have stated, I think 32" diameter tires is as large as you can fit without some lift/trim modifications.

I like the style of the 09 wheels best but I'd like some with more dish so spacers wouldn't be needed. Also, keep in mind that taller tires will have the same effect as higher(lower numerical) gears so power will suffer, especially in hilly terrain. I like these 2007-2011 16 inchers pretty well, too.
