18 or 20? offset? opinions?

since the 22's didn't work out,

i've found some wheels i like, the incubus 518 recoil. i think they will look pretty good.

there is 18x8.5 or 20x9 the 18's would be a 285/65/18 whereas the 20's would have a 285/55/20 overall height of both are less than an inch over stock

i'm assuming i want the 8x170 w 12mm offset?

will these stick out much at that?

available tires will be e load rated, but the 18's seem to be 3600 vs 3300 on the 20's

thoughts or opinions

when it comes to 18's and 20 inch wheels your going to find almost all of them are made in china and have a pretty low weight rating

I have -19 offset on my 18x9 wheels
