Default new 6" lift seeking wheels

2010 JK Unlimited Sahara, Deep Blue

I have the skyjacker 6-7" long arm lift orderd. Haven't got it yet tho. I was wanting to run Nitto Mud Grapplers, 37x13.50R20. For this I figure I need 20x10 wheel. Due to it having 20 diameter, i figured the 20X9 would be too narrow for the 13.5? any thoughts? I can only find very few 20x10 with a 5 on 5 pattern and 4.5BS. Those I do find, I dont like. Should I punt and go with 18s, but there are even less 18x10s. However, the taller sidewall might be OK on a 18x9? any thoughts or suggestions?

thanks
Mark

thanks for the quick reply. you have the 9 or 9.5? also what BS?

what about your lift, how high? and did you remove the flares cause they rubbed or just getting different ones?

thanks!
