I typed it right. I have 305/50/20. I purposely wanted the shorter tire and lower profile. I'm not and expert but I think the smaller/negative offset pushed the tire out and then the radius of the tire pivot is more and then in rubs on the inner fender. I think you can go with lower then +20 but I wouldn't do that with a 305 tire because it will stick out. I'm pretty sure a 305/55 is just fine as well. The 305s for me were cheaper then the 295s and I really wanted 305. I drive aggressively and on highways so I wanted wide with low profile. I've only had the tires for a week and never had an AT tire before. I typically drive high end sports cars and SUVs and still have them. With that in mind, I love the Terra Grapplers. Definitely feel the highway and road ridges more (it will bump you offline) and its stiffer but I think it's the tire pressure. I would definitely get them again and in the same size. It just looks right and performs as intended. Here's a picture.. I'd be happy to take and detailed pictures that you want.

You're right. The lower the offset the more it will stick out. The problem though is two fold....one the wider you push out the tire the more likely it will rub and a 305 width tire with a +20 offset with a 9 inch wide tire is already at or sticking slightly past the fender. I have Fuel wheels, 9 inches wide with a +20 offset with Nitto Terra Grappler G2 305/50/20 and it fits perfectly. Tire is right at the fender, no rub, no lift or level. I got a little lucky. I was tempted to go +0 and I'm glad I didn't. The tire would of stuck out too far for me.
