Default Aftermarket Wheel/tire Question!

I have a 2009 screw 4x4, leveled on LT285/75R18 Toyo AT2's which are 34.8" in height and 11.3" in width on stock lariat wheels. I have no rubbing issues at all. Any way, my question is that if I get a 20" rim with a 00mm offset, will I be okay to run either,


A) Federal Couragia mt 35x12.50x20 which is 34.8" in height 12.5" in width (not sure if this is a great tire, but is less expensive, comments, experience?)


B) Nitto Mud Grappler 35x12.50x20 which is 35.04" and 13" in width


C) Toyo m/t 35x12.50x20 same as mud grappler.


I know width is normally what causes the rubbing issue.

Or, should I get a 33 in something, or get a metric toyo in between 34-35 and slightly narrower tire? Just not sure what I will be able to fit with the aftermarket wheel. I don't mind running spacers if I had to.

I have the federals on my truck. I have no complaints about them. And get lots of compliments. One thing that helps with clearance is the lugs on the edges are tappered towards the sidewalls. I attached a pic.

I had the Federal MTs in a 35X12.50R20 when I was leveled and kept them when I put my lift on, and I basically agree with everything [MENTION=133759]greengemxlt[/MENTION] said.

I'm n the better side of 10k miles and they're still goin strong. Just gotta keep them aired up correctly, keep them rotated and stay on top of your alignment.
