Thank you my freind. In those pics those are 295/60/20 terra grapplers on the stock fx4 grey 20's but with 1.3" spacers.

I love the Terra's would def recommend them. Upped to a 35x12.50 trail grappler for my new setup.

I am going with a 305/70/17 33.98"x12.36 I did not want to sacrifice that much fuel economy right off the bat. I am averaging 18.5 right now 75/25 City/HWY.

Called customautoonline.com and they said with a 2.5 leveling kit on the front the biggest I could go would be 295/70r18. Those are 34.3 tall and 11.6 wide. Technically I should be able to fit those on with some minor trimming etc. BUT I have no clue if the offset is going to be a problem. The stock 20s or +44 offset and the rims I would be getting are either a +0 or +18. What do you guys think?
+18 will be the wheel to go with. You will even be able to get a 35x12.5r18 to work as long as it is not crazy aggressive.

If you plan on going with a lift kit in the future buy the +0 wheels and go with a 33" tire for now.

Can anyone give me some advice on what to go with? Will 0 offset with 275 or 285 tires work? Not going for 12.5 wide.

And has a leveling kit caused front end parts to wear out faster for anybody? Or any other issues for that matter.
The 0 offset is what may cause you problems. With the stock 18" +44 offset, it seems a 34" (295/70/18) will fit with no rubbing. I saw one post where a guy installed 18x9's with a 0 offset and rubbed the front valence and rear fender well with 33's (295/65/18) on a 1.5" level (Bilsteins) when turning. The offset is the key . I just installed 18x9 Fuel Trophy's with a +20 offset (5.8" bs) with 295/65/18 Duratracs, and I have plenty of clearance all around with no trimming at all with Bilsteins set to 1.5". I'm pretty sure I could do a 34" with no rub or trimming with the +20 offset and 1.5" level. I don't think 35's would work for my setup, at least w/o some trimming, and maybe not even then.

Thanks for the info! I might just drop down 33x12.50 with a +18 offset because I would like to run the Toyo M/T and those are pretty aggressive. I got a while before I actually buy a set so I have plenty of time to figure it out

Positive offset is inwards right? He said they come in 20s with a +18 offset which sounds like it'll work. But then I got to go with 20s. The tire size you have and likely that exact tire is what I think I will be going with. Trying to decide on what way to level the truck now!

Any pictures?

Yes, positive offset moves the wheel inward. I can post up some pics tonight when I get home. On my phone now, and I don't have any pics. I took several showing the clearance I have with the UCA and at full lock.

Just got off the phone with Rough Country and the guy said with their 2.5 leveling kit you can run 35x12.50 but he said aggressive tires might be a problem (Toyo M/T). Asked him about 295/70r18 (34.3)x(11.6) and he said there won't be any problems even with aggressive tires. But he did say to try to stick with the factory offset which for the OEM 20 inch rims are +44 so I'm going with a +30.

Default Wheel spacers?

I have a 2012 Harley Davidson edition with 275 45 22 Pirelli Scorpions zero tires. I have ordered a set of toyo open country mt tires in size 33 12.5 22, along with a 2 inch leveling kit. Will these tires fit without using back spacers?
