2006 XLT 4WD with 2/5" level..
I've got 17 inch XD Addict with a -12mm offset and 4.53" BS
I've got Nitto Trail Grapplers that are 295/70r17
My tire:
33.54 tall - 11.97 wide
Your tire:
32.99 tall - 12.83 wide
I had to trim the valance which was no big deal. If I'm at full lock I'll rub the back of the fender well on one side if my tires is flexed a few inches in. Whichever side the tires are pointed to.
You're Terra Grapplers won't have the aggressive thread so you won't have that concern if our specs were identical.
You're tires are .86 of an inch wider not accounting for the thread on mine.
My tires are .55 of an inch taller.
So if you were to put a -12 mm offset you would be more proned to rub when calculating in your wider tires but the shorter tire will make up for a little bit.
So at this point I would say you might have a slight rubbing problem at full lock on the back of the fender well.
A 0mm offset will stick out half an inch less than my wheels but that extra positive 12mms (half an inch) should make up for the wider tire and give you just slightly less rubbing problems than I have (which are basically none).
Granted I'm still not counting in the less aggressive thread pattern.
Does that make any sense? I would get the 0 offset and hope to god it worked but I'm bad about taking chances.
