Default what size tires could I install?

I am wanting to upgrade tires to BFG KO2's from stock 20" Pirelli's. Also replacing shocks with Bilstein 5100's for some additional lift. What size tire would I be able to install without rubbing and still get a nice look? current tire size is 275/55 20R.

Cranked up you can fit a narrow 35", otherwise a wider 33 would look good. I went up to a 275/60/20 but many go to 275/65/20 or around a 295/55/20 I believe.

I've been wanting to get some BFG ko2's. What is the largest size that will fit my stock 4x4 275/55/20 without rubbing. No lift or level. I've used the search... it looks like 275/60/20 is safe but I've read contradicting results with the 275/65/20. If anyone could clear it up I'd appreciate it

275/60/20 is what I have on my truck. It is levelled but there is plenty of room. Guarantee you won't have any issue with those. I'm skeptical of the 65's though. Good luck with whatever you choose.

I was told I'd fit 305/55/20 with my 2" lift with "a little trimming". Think it would be a lot without a level.

Would this hold true for the 15/16's?
