Help, should I have ordered 20x9.5 rears?

Just bought the wheels hours ago. I bought 20x8.5 all the way around. Now I'm wondering if I should have went with the 20x9.5 in the rear.....?

I don't want to rub or widen the rear tubs. I will bag the fronts and rears.

Did I do it right and go with 20x8.5?

Please Help!!!!!

Voxx Old Schools.... I so like the staggard look, I just went safe because I dont want to modify the rear tubs.

If I switched my order it is no big deal right now.

So would I be ok with a 20x9.5? With no rubbing or modifiacations?

depending on how low you want to go with the air all the way out you can. If you want to lay frame then no you wont be able to unless you shorten your axle or pull your fenders.

I like the staggered look myself. Fitment depends more on backspacing, tire size,how and how far your truck is lowered.

Souonds like with the air bags I made the right choice by going with the 20x8.5's.
