Default HELP What size Trail Grapplers Should i run?

Allright so im aware of the many types of tires and sizes that i can run on my truck.
09 F150 fx4 Crew w/2.5 level

But im trying to decide between 2 sizes of Nitto Trail Grapplers.
Ive narrowed it down to sizes:
295-65-R20
305-55-R20

Opinions?

If you can fit the 295/65/20 that's the size I would go but with just a level I'm not sure they will fit. If it were me, I'd go 295/60/20.

What gears are you running?
What size tire do you have now?

I am running the 33" Nittos on my 3.73 geared 5.0 and I love them.

295/65 is what I run with a 2.5" level. I would be concerned the sidewall lugs would rub on the upper control arm with 305s

Edit: Didnt look at the 20. I am thinking 18's so the 305s would probably still fit

Do you 295-65's rub at all? and are you sure your running the the 295-65s and not the 295-60s?
I only ask because many people say the 65s will rub terribly, but others say they only rub at full extention

I've got the 295/65r20 on stock wheels with no spacers or anything. I wouldn't have been able to fit anything wider b/c there's not much room to the upper arm even with these. Obviously the height isn't a problem. I've got a 4" lift, but it would be fine on a level also.
