    you will have to measure the offset. here is how

    Lay the wheel face up, put something straight across the wheel. yardstick, 2X4, some thing . Then grab your tape measure and measure from the center hub to the thing laying across the wheel.take that measurement from the hub on your truck and place a straight edge from the inner finder to the ground and that will tell you where the wheel is gonna set. Tires with a 20 go with a 275/45/20 or maybe a 40 series

    Do what murdered_outgmc says but I'd take a wheel off, install the new one and run a straight edge across the wheel to the top of the fenderwell. This way you could see how much room you have from the wheel to the fender.

    Ill see if I cant get some pics up for you. The new wheels are already on the truck and the stick out a little but I cant tell if they will tuck if I get some lower profile tires for them. The offset is currently 5.5 from what I understand.

    those look like they won't tuck. Especially in the rear.

    the rear looks like it would tuck easier than the front. I think they might tuck with lower profile tires, the ones on there now stick out a little from the lip of the rim.
