The first picture, Who makes them and what size 20's are available?

20x9, 20x10, Backspacing???

RVM Wheels sells them. The ones in the pic are both the same thing just one in chrome. I bought some of the black ones and got them mounted yesterday and all I can say is DAMN! I'll post pics as soon as I get some. As far as the width they only come in 8.5in unfortunately so you'd have to have them widened for anything bigger. I'm running a 295/40/20 tire on mine right now and it's about as wide as you can go with them. You can get them in 20's or 22's as far as I know.

Actually, a 295/40 is way out of spec on an 8.5" rim. Most tires that size are 10" minimum rim width.

That's the size of the factory tire, and the factory rims are 9.5in wide. I'm running the tires on an 8.5 right now and they look fine, no problems so far. I was kinf of skeptical myself and told the tire place to let me know if there was going to be a problem after they mounted the first one, they said they would be fine.

Supposedly they have them for the F-Series Fords, and other makes and models as well. Pic is more than likely for something else

I like the first one...and the third one....not crazy about black..... if you're lowered decently I would do a 20" ..if not then maybe a 22...

should look good either way

The stock tires are 295/45s. Makes a big difference. 9.5" is the minimum rim width on the F1s. You are shortening the sidewall, which makes the minimum rim width get bigger, as there is less sidewall to compensate for a too-narrow rim.

Just check the specs on your tires at tirerack.com.

Is it a big deal? Beyond my expertise.
