Default Nitto Terra Grappler + Level Question

I know this is probably an age old question but I'm having trouble finding answers and pictures through the search feature.

I'm looking to do new tires on my stock 20" rims. Really want to run the Nitto Terra Grapplers. What is the common size that everyone runs on the stock 20"s, 275/65R20? or another size? I plan on doing a Readylift 2" leveling kit before I do the tires. I'm assuming they will rub unless I level the truck right?

I know this is a common set-up but I cant find any pictures. If anyone has any pictures of their truck or someone else's with a the terra grapplers on the stock 20"s with a level that would be awesome.

Thanks in advance, and sorry if this thread exists already and I couldn't find it.

,Nick

2WD or 4x4? Either way 34s should fit without a level but it can't hurt

295 is about as wide as you can go on stock rims without rubbing. If you level then you can run 35s. So 295/65/20 would be 11.6x35 and you should be able to clear. 275/65/20 is 10.8x34 which would look nice and give you an extra inch of wheel well if that's what you want. Tire width is what you have to watch for. 11.5 is what they say max width is on all stock components but a level will give you some extra room. Some guys go up to 305 but might have a little rub full lock so go 295 max and save a headache.

Dudemanbrother thank you for all that good info. Nitto makes a 295/60R20 which has an overall diameter of 34.45 or a 275/65R20 which has an overall diameter of 34.09. I'm debating on which one to go with. I'm afraid that the bigger one may look to stuffed in the wheel well. I really wish someone would chime in with a picture so I can have a better idea and decide.

What do you guys think?

My stock goodyears are 275 correct?

Best I can do to help, not really close to what you are looking for. Nitto 285/70/17 no level kit or anything. I did have some GY Wrangler M/T 305/70/17 and they didn't look much different
