2011 Lariat Limited Wheel Question

I just picked up a Lariat Limited about two weeks ago and want to get a second set of tires and wheels to use; the Limited 22's are sweet but want something differnet for winter driving etc. I would like to put on a set of 20's with tires in the 275/65R20 range for a little more sidewall than stock..

I am having trouble finding information related to offset, backspacing, & wheel width... Here is what I have got so far..
1-Talked to Tire Rack and they have no information on the new Limited and cannot make any recs...
2-Spoke with the dealer and they said the limited uses the same rotors and suspension as the King Ranch so I should be okay running a 20 inch wheel.
3-Used the tire size calculator and a 275/65R20 has the same diameter and width as the stock 275/55R22

Can someone tell me what the backspacing/offset on a stock 20x8.5 inch king ranch wheel is? I dont want them to stick out and like the stock profile. Also can I put on a wider wheel 20x9 or 20x9.5 if I change the backspace or offset. Last thing what about I wider or taller tire than the 275/65R20 I am looking at. I do not plan to do any type of suspension modes for extra height.

Thanks for the feedback.

The OEM 20's are 8.5 inches wide with 6.5 inches of backspacing.

Wandell,

Thanks for the quick response. Any idea on what the backspacing would need to for 20x9's to work and what tire size I can run with no rubbing issue. Not looking to go big maybe 285's...65 or 70's

Thanks

Chaz

I'd stay as close as possible to the OEM wheel's 6.5 inch backspacing. For a tire, I'd go with something like a 275/55-20, 285/50-20 or 295/50-20.
