I'm wanting to move my bumper forward to accommodate some 17 or 18 inch rims. How far do I move it and will it still look good?

Seems like it wouldn't take a much bigger tire to make it rub, maybe I'm wrong!!

You should be able to fit 31s under the front end. Rim size is completely unimportant, it's the size of the tire that's gonna get you

The rusty one shows where I had to cut to keep my 33s from hitting, if you can t tell this would be the bottom corner by the wheel, if it was on the truck.
