I would say that those wheels would work as long as you don't intend to substantially lower your truck or use bags.

The wheel specs that you mentioned from the truck you like have a positive offset and bring the wheel and tire's more inboard, giving you more clearance when the truck is lower.

How do you know that the other truck's wheels mave a pos offset? I dont plan on a c-notch or anything....but I am going to install airbags before the wheels are installed. Do you think I have serious problems? ? I ordered 255/50/18 and 295/45/20 (slightly lower sidewall than the other truck.
