    I haven't looked up Rockstars for our Commander bolt pattern, but i've noticed that most 20" wheels are 10" wide which may be an issue. Check out the KMC website to see what widths and backspaces are available for your bolt pattern.

    Another thing to consider is tires. The Commander runs relatively small tires to the rest of the truck world.... finding some nice A/T or M/T tires in the diameter you'll want is going to really limit your tire options, especially when combined with a 10" wide wheel (if that's what they come in).

    Be careful don't get your self into position were your tire choices are limited and cost a lot more as well.

    Was just checking out KMC's site.... They do have a 20x8.5 with either a +10 or +35mm offset. One of those may work with a set of the 305/50/20 General Grabber AT2's (one of the few good A/T tires in that size, i ran them on my GMC Sierra)...

    And the 35mm offset on those 8.5s will stick out about 1/4" further than my wheels do, which would look pretty good IMO.

    Here's what 305/50/20s look like BTW (i put Cooper Zeons on my truck and the AT2s on my Jeep):





    Not sure how that'll flow the a 4" lifted Commander. If anyone is good with Photoshop I can give them some better side shots so they can put them on an XK.

    With the 4" SL.... i think it may be a good setup.

    Not 100% sure though, i'd definitely have to take a closer look at what wheels/tires some of the other 4" lifted XK's are running to feel a bit more confident. The width is the only thing that has me a bit "iffy".

    275/60/20 would be another tire size to look at. They're 1" taller than the 305/50/20s, but a good inch thinner. (i'm a fan of the 305s though in terms of looks)

    Edit: or 275/55/20.... 275/60 was popular in the GM truck world, but 275/55/20 would probably be a better option for our XK's.
