Question about wheel spacing for lowered truck

[polar]

Alright so I am in the process of buying wheels for my truck that is lowered 4/6. I emailed a seller on ebay with the specs that are in the wheel spacing thread. This is his response:

"hanks for your question. I am assuming based on your question that the truck is extremely low.

Your math is off a little bit on the 20x8.5, 4.75" backspace would be 0 offset. We have 2 different offsets available in that size. Zero offset with a 4.75" backspace, and +14mm offset with a 5.25" backspace. We always recommend the +14 version for your truck.

On the 20x10, we have a zero offset with 5.5" backspace and a +20mm offset with a 6.2" backspace. We normally recommend the zero offset 20x10 which works fine on those trucks with a fleetside bed stock, lowered, or airbagged. The +20 version will rub on the stock suspension unless you run a small spacer or of course if you have modified the suspension with a 4 link for example. If you are airbagged and running a 4 link, the +20 version will fit and tuck with either the fleetside or stepside bed.

Thanks! Dave"

I was just wondering if he right because I dont want to spend $1100 in wheels and they are the wrong ones.

Are you planning on running staggered? Are you looking to tuck?

I sent him the specs from that thread in my initial email and he told me my calculations were wrong. So I just wanted to see if someone has used the specs he gave me before

Yes.
I've seen them on completly laid out 88-98's.
If I was ordering made to order wheels I would like them better with another 1/4" backspacing but I have no issues with them especially being a off the shelf wheel.
I assume you will be rolling your fender lips anyways?

Here's a better offset picture...

Are you sure on the rear spacing at 5.5? Looks like it's still in the fenderwell. We tried that at my shop on a 20x10 and it sat almost flush with outside of fender so we went to 6 and it fit perfect.
