Default 20 inch rims and spacers

Hello all. I'm trying to figure out if I can buy these wheels I found on Craigslist. Yes, I know 20's aren't everyone's favorite but I don't do a lot if off-roading and they are the look I like.

They are Fuel Dune's. 20x 9 1 positive offset and BS is 5 or 5.5. Lug oattern is 5x5

My question is will I need spacers? I don't want to run those.

Thanks all!

The need for adapters is based on tire size, not rim diameter. So, what tire size?

Stock rims have a backspace of around 6.25". As the BS numbers goes down, the tires are moved further out. So those rims (and whatever tires are on them) will be moved out .75" or 1.25" further. 33's should be fine. 35's may be ok, depending on build, lift, fender type, whether you want to trim, etc, etc, etc.

Right now it has 275/70/20's (not to terra grappler g2's) if I remember correctly(or around that size). I took a quick look at them today. What's crazy is when I rolled them up to my stock wheels and tires they are a tiny bit smaller! My stock wheels are the 16 inch cheap rims with the Bridgestones on them.

When I need new tires I'm going to go 33's so it sounds like I'll be fine. Awesome. Thank you very much! I really like these rims and for $800 I think it's a deal so I was nervous hoping they would fit without spacers so I appreciate the quick response. No one on the other forums answered me.
