i think ou should be able to get 35" on without any rubbing. As for how wide, i wouldn't really want to go any wider then you have now or they will stick out.

He could run 35's w/ a 2" coil spacer up front.

You have the cummins, which the diesels have a slightly larger and stiffer coil. (not sure how much higher)

As far as the 33's go...yeah, you'll fit them no prob.

//edit//

Also, the rim size in width....not sure about 20's but 17's (smallest rim you can use) mostly come in 9"wide or 10" wide so a 12.5" wide tire will do fine.

I love the tread pattern on these

Most 20" off-road tires will be a 35" or larger. I haven't found a 33" yet.

iirc aren't most stock wheels 7-7.5" wide?

And if you're looking for an off-road tire because you're actually going to go off-road, leave the 20's for the posers. They'll hurt your off road performance unless you're running 40"+ tires.
