Where are you wanting the tires to be, in relation to the fenders? Sticking out? How far?

The black would be nice on your truck. Personally I would get the all chrome ones, but like all the chrome on the truck.

First, you need to decide what size tire. Then what offset. Then finish.

Not every wheel you like will come in the size/offset that you want.

You do realize that the tire will be tucked inside the fender with that offset??

20x9 with zero offset will stick out about 3/4" ish. Front will be a bit more.

With a 4" lift and aggressive tires, I think you should have an aggressive offset as well. 20x9 with 0 offset would be the min, 20x9 with -12 would work too and stick out about 1.25".

Depends on how far you want them to stick out the fenders. Tire size will also make up a bit of that

1.25" would be perfect for me. 2" max id say

Sounds good. That much sticking out of the fender would look nice with that much of a lift.

All these wheel configuration programs online, would be awesome if they had a lift configurator with tire size and offset options. Argh
