Default Need some wheel/tire advice

Im new to the site and am needing some help!

I have just had a 2.5" Rough Country leveling kit installed on my 2004 F150. I also purchased some new "Gear" 20" alloy wheels. My question is, what size tires would look best? I obviously want no rubbing and I would prefer the tires don't stick out from the side of the truck.
I was told 33" tires(toyo open country M/T's) would fit nicely on the 20" wheels. that true?

Appreciate pics or advice on tire size, brand, etc.. Thanks!

What are the dimensions of the rims that you have already bought? What is the backspacing and offset?

Also, I have Nitto TRAILS and LOVE them. I've had nothing but compliments.

Sounds right. 35s would fit with minimal trimming.

-25 mm should fit the 33's easy 35's will rub prolly perty bad... I'm trying to do the same but 18" rims... There may be minor rubbing but nothing some minor trimming shouldn't fix if any
