Question 2001 Lightning Backspacing For 20" Wheels

My 2001 Lightning has the stock 18 X 9.5 gray center wheels. I just put new OEM size 295/45R18 Toyo Proxes tires on them for daily use. I want to get a second set of tires & wheels in 20". I don't want the "rubber band" look, but rather a taller tire with some decent sidewall width without looking like a 4 X 4truck. I am also considering a 2" / 3" BellTech drop, using front spidles & rear shackles and 4 lowering shocks. I want American Racing Torque Thrust 5 spoke wheels. They are available in 20 X 10. I'm sure there is enough clearance for the extra 1/2 inch of width, but somebody please tell me if there's not. I don't want the tires outside of the fenders. So, what backspacing do I need for a positive offset and still have enough inboard suspension clearance? I would love to see a photo of anyone's Lightning with this combination. Any responses, with or without pictures would be appreciated. Thanks!
