Default biggest tire that can fit with body lift?

okay so im planning ahead right now just found the most amazing rims ever made for our stupid bolt pattern they are 20x10inch rim. i have my tortion bars cranked and running 32.s (265/75/r16 aka 31.8") and so by the time those tires are warn out (i just bought them but i drive 150km a day on mud tires) ill have enough money saved up for body lift and the 20's

so im realistically asking 2 questions: Tires either the nitto Mud grapplers or the Trail grapplers only nice looking tire thats mean enough to take on those rims

Other question: i was looking at 33's theres 2 different sizes and im curious would the Nitto Trail grappler 305/55/r20 (33.2") fit? or would be the trailgrappler 295/55/r20 (32.8") or the mud grappler 33/12.50/20

i love the look when tires stick out but its against the law to stick out more then an inch from wheel well.. i have the stock flares so what would be best tire? my truck below in sig pic

You can fit 33's with a 4 inch lift. Some people say with a 2 inch and cranked torsion bars you can fit them in with rubbing. All this info is in the FAQ pinned at the top of the forum

you can fit all 3 of those but you WILL rub on the frame. its just part of the game, pick up wheel adaptors and youll be fine.

Also frame rubbage i guess is fine i just didnt feel like cutting the plastic would 34's fit or is that pushing it do you think?

Yup I saw just a heads up for next time

34's would be pushing it. Are you going to be doing offroading with these rims at all? If so I wouldn't get them low profiles plus off road doesnt work very well
I would get wheel adapters as Brian_ said and go with 33's and a 4 inch lift. You want to keep rubbing to a minimum and non existent if possible.
