Those are the perfect size.
Look at Toyo Proxes ST II's.

Great looking wheels! It's usually cheaper to buy tires online now a days. Check out online-tires, tires easy, tread depot, etc. Some of them even have free shipping like www.performanceplustire.com for example.

The wheels are raceline stunnas, which this was the last set made.
20x8.5 and 20x10 both with 5.5 back space
The truck is dropped 2in in the front now, but not on that pic...
I am definitely going lower. My ideal drop is 4.5/6...
Thanks everyone for all the great comments.. This is a slow build process do to having a 3yr old and a 1yr old "boys" running around the house. So may relate to that...

Re: Got my wheels in today!

I was going to say.. I was on their site a few weeks ago and they didn't list the stunnas in production anymore. I was thinking this wheel for my truck.
