What width wheel? I'd try to get a 9" wide wheel. A 10" wide wheel will just push them out further. Here's what I recommend:

22x9
5.5" minimum backspacing, 6" optimal
12.50"-13.50" wide tire

20x9 will fit outside the fender about an inch. I have 20x10 with -25 backspacing and they stick out about 3 inches. I love it. All to their own...

I think Pauly is right, that combo will be the best fit, look and work with the suspension better.

But the 22's I have seen just don't quite seem right on a SRW truck. I am sure there are some, but the ones I have seen just seem a little out of proportion. Most are a little low profile for my taste. I like to see lots of sidewall on my tires.
