Default Level/Tire install question will it rub?

Hey all. Quick question. Having a hard time getting someone to install the leveling kit before the tires are coming in. I'm going with 275/65r20 20x9 +20MM wheels and tires. Will do a 2" level in the front. If I put the wheels and tires on before the level where will the rub issues be? Just at full lock or partial turning or? Trying to determine if it's semi drivable for a few days without the lift. Thanks.

The tires sizes are 34.1x10.8/20 and you say the wheels 20/9. The trick it’s on the outset of the wheels for example: is dead center, so on a 9 inch wheel that is 4.5 backspace. Negative offset makes the wheel stick out more, positive obviously makes them stick out less.
I consider you want more information before acquiring something that you may not be pleased or not work on your leveling spectacles. particularly is going to be couple of $$$$

I'm actually after the same answer. My goal is to go with the biggest AT tire I can without leveling the front (take the blocks out of the back). Would the 275/65/20 AT tire with a 20x9 wheel with either a +1mm or +20mm offset work?

275/65/20 with anything + offset is gonna rub +20 is gonna rub bad, basically the farther the wheel sticks past fenders "+offset" the worse the problem will get. Unless u go higher, level kit 2.5 or lift kit.. staying closer to inside of fenders "- offset" you will get less/minimal rubbing.
I have toyo's AT 2's 275/65/20 with 20x9 wheels, 0 offset 2.5RC level kit, and I had some rubbing, had to trim plastic inside fenders to clear...
to answer your question, yes it will work, yes it will rub, yes you will have to trim.

You are backwards bro. - (negative) offset moves the wheel out. + (positive) offset moves the wheel in.

Go with +20. Still a chance of rub on that bumper bar.
