Respectfully what kind of budget are we working with? I'll see what I can find for you.

You could do Coys.. pretty sure have what you're looking for. If I had another stepper with a 2in drop in the front and 73+ kmemeber I'd do 5.25bs. If the truck is really low, you'd need 5.5 to make sure the wheels would turn.

A 20x8.5 with 4.75 BS is what I used on my step (rear) and I didn't have to cut anything. 255/45 tires.

A 9in wheel with 5in bs is essentially the same fit as above just .25 wider inside and .25 wider outside (explains the bs difference too. So if you could do a 9 with 5 in backspace in the rear OR an 8.5 with 4.75 you would be in good shape IMO.

I would go with 8.5 in wheel up front with 5.25in backspace.

It is really tough to get a bunch of tire under a stepper. That's why I am changing over to fleet honestly.

The lower you go with this setup, the better it will look (just my .02).
