Default Xd rockstar owners

I'm goon get the 20 rockstars but not sure if I should get 20x10 or 20x8. I'm installing 2.5"lift. X 8's backspace is 5.1 and x 10 has 4.5. I'm going with 12.50" tire so I am concerned about to much tire being past fender. Just wondering if 20x10 would stick out that much more then 20x8

I went w/the 20X10 because of the back spacing (& my tire choice), but IIRC there have been others who have the 20X8, but I can not verify if they also used a wheel spacer.

I have the 20x10" with a 35x12.5" tire and they really don't stick out to far. Make sure to trim the rear pinch weld if you plan on going wheeling though. That was the only spot I had a rubbing issue with.

Here is the 8.5 rockstar with a 33x12.5x20. Sticks out about an inch past the stock fender.
