Need Advice on Tires

I'm getting new wheels and tires and I've decided on the XD Rockstar wheels and not sure which tire to go with. Right now I just have factory all around on a '14 Crewcab LT. I want a 20" wheel I think and was told to get the BFG 285/55R20. In order to do that, I'd have to put the front end level kit, which is 2" I'm told.

 

I also looked at the BFG 275/55R20 and they wouldn't require me to do the lift. So I'm not sure what to do. It's about a $800 difference.

 

I want a more aggressive and beefy look, but not over do it since it's not a 4x4 and I do a ton of highway miles.

 

What would you recommend? Thanks!

Get a factory 20" Wheel package off Craigslist with factory tires or +1 size them. If I wanted bigger wheels and such that's what I would do. Go with a nice AT like the GY All-terrain adventure Kevlar's or KO2's, or Cooper Disco 3's. I just wouldn't go nuts with it. Plus the 20" CL take-off special is probably cheaper and better OEM quality vs some Chinese wheels from Rent and roll.

If you stay with a high positive offset on those new rims, then you should be able to fit the 285/55/20's without a lift. Guys are running that size on stock trucks with stock rims. Aftermarket rims will be closer to rubbing. That being said, leveling kits are cheap, and if you're wanting a more beefy stance, then go with a level and the 285's.
