They have 20x9 with 4.75" backspace and 20x8.5 with 3.75" backspace. What size are your rims? I could not see what width they are. 22" dia i got.
Thanks 88Stanger, that is exactly the reason I went this route. I wanted to avoid all the upkeep and I had a budget to get this truck back on the road. I wanted to originally run 18" Detroits with a wide white wall tire from Diamond Back, but it was well over $2k and would've killed my budget. Like I mentioned earlier, I found a user on Instagram who was selling them and was able to bore out the centers before shipping for a fee.

I believe the transits are 22x9, the 265/35/22 fits the rim perfect, but maybe somebody else could verify that. I couldn't even tell you the backspacing, as they only come 1 way unless they are modified, which they weren't. I do know that they are almost the perfect backspacing if the truck gets bagged. The rears clear the bedside and the fronts are tucked in nicely.

If I ever take the wheel back off, I'll measure the backspacing and post it here.
