Default Leveling question before I pull trigger...

2015 Screw, looking at Fuel Vapor D560 in Matte Black 18in (no offset), 33s, and a 2in level. Sound like a solid setup? Looking to retain pretty much the same ride, and MPG (hopefully lol) but wanted a slightly more aggressive look, better traction in mud/snow, etc.

I've looked at SO many lifts, etc. on here, but for some reason it's still hard for me to "see it" perfectly in my head.

You have stated 18" wheels with 0 offset.

What width?

Ride and MPG can/will be affected by tire choice. E-rated tires, if you go that route, are stiffer than stock so it'll affect the ride. 33" tires are taller than stock so you're MPG's will be affected.

Why would you go with that aggressive offset with such small tires?

He said it's almost 0. My goal is to go with a bigger tire, not to stick out much further than stock, new wheels, and level it. Pretty basic in the grand scheme, BUT, the reason I asked and am on here is because I really know nothing about lifts/tires.
