2wd Blazer Wheel / Tire size?

I am building a 2wd Blazer for my wife. She likes the Ridler 695 Grey rims.

I am going to put 20" rims on.

My question is, should I buy 8.5" or 10" wide rims?

Also, what size tires do I need?

I saw a 2wd that was lowered about 2", it had 20" rims and 275/45 tires. Not sure the width of the rims.

Any help would be appreciated.

Greetings, The 275/45-20 tire will fit correctly on a 8.5-10" wheel. The overall dimension of that tire is 29.75" tall and 10.7" wide.

I like a little overhang in my tire over the rim to Protect it from getting curb rash. Do I'd go With a 8.5 wide with that size tire.
