2010 platinum 2.5" level 285/65r20 or 275/65r20 tires?
I have a 2010 4x4 platinum. I will be having a 2.5" front level and 1.5" rear block added. I'm ordering either 20x9 wheels with a +20 mm or +1 mm offset. I need to know which tires would work with this rig, I'm looking at 285/65r20's or 275/65r20's. Nitto Terra Grapplers or BFG KO2's if that's important to know. So the two variables are which size tire and which size offset. I would rather not deal with trimming and don't want rubbing. If anyone has experience with this set up or any advice/suggestions it would be helpful!

x2 for the +20s if you don't want any rubbing/trimming.
The 285s should be around .5" taller, and I'd go that route just for the little extra width, but idk if it's gonna be too tall to the point where you'd have to trim. One complaint I've seen about the 275s is too skinny for the height. And just FYI, a lot of people on the stock +44 have no rubbing issues with 295/60 which is about 34" tall. Similar to the 275/65 as far as height, just wider.
Both tires seem to have really good reviews all around, but IIRC the KO2 is M+S rated and I don't think the other is if that's a concern.

thank you!! Yeah I think I'll go with the +20's. and yeah, I've looked at the wider tires like 295's or the 285's but with the whole offset issue I don't want to deal with rubbing and all, and it seems that even if I find a tire of similar height to the 275/65r20's, if it's any wider I risk it rubbing.
Personally, I found a good deal on Craigslist and ended up going 295/70r18 which is going to be nearly the same height as those 275s, but the wheels I got with them are +0, so I'm fully expecting to have to do some trimming. Should be very minor, but still...
