XD Rockstars work?

My wife wants a set of Rockstars on the new Ex because she loves them on her old 'Burb. The only specs on the size I would need I could find were +10 offset and ~5" backspace on a 20x8.5" wheel. Will these work without issue? I know the leaf springs suspension changes what works and doesn't and this being our first Ex in a little clueless as to what will go and what won't.
For info, I won't do this until I get a set of x-codes with 2" shackles and modded b-codes with F-350 blocks so I can run 35x12.50 tires.

check with the Superduty folks about the rims themselves.

I love the look of aftermarket rims, but they tend to break. Factory ALCOAs are tough to beat (litterally)

NEVER had a set of afermarket wheels break on me. I ran XDs on my Ram 3500 SRW CTD and towed BIG weight on them no problem. I'm not worried about breaking a quality wheel.

I have KMC Rockstar 2s that are 18" Rims with General Grabber AT2s. I love them and they fit perfectly fine.

I've never had an issue with an after market rim. Tow heavy all the time.
