Default Tire Size Without Rub

It looks like I'm in the market for new wheels and tires since some model citizen was nice enough to leave my truck on blocks and steal all four wheels and tires.

I want to get some 20" Fuel Throttles. My question is how big of a tire can I run with the stock suspension without worrying about rub. Could I get away with a 305/55R20 or would I need to look at something in the 275/55 or 275/65 range.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the help.

I believe the off set on the Throttles is 20mm.

I have an 09 KR, 4 wheel drive. No lift. Came with 275/55/20. I just put 285/55/20 Terragrippers on it with no problems.

Nitto-terra grapplers , I've got 35" Terra's on my truck (actually measure 34.5) kinda waiting for these to wear down though since they have the trail grapplers which are a more aggressive look and fall between the a/t and m/t lines they sell.
