Default *Need help with tires*

I know yall have heard this a million times, so just bare with me. any help is greatly appreicated.

Ive got a 2006 ram 1500 4x4 with 20 inch stock rims. I also have a leveling kit. I am currently running 275/55/20s yokohamas. I was hoping to run 305/55/20s but Ive seen on all the forums that, that cant be done on stock 20s. I am not ready for aftermarket rims and I am not crazy about wheel spacers. Ive talked around town and come to the conclusion that 295/60/20 is what i could run. I was hoping to get some feed back from you guys on if they can fit. And pictures. If you guys dont think this can work, id really appericate your advice on what size tire you think would work. Remember I want to go as big as i can with NO to very little rubbing, I am trying to stay away from wheel spacers, and are staying with the stock 20s. I will also more than likely be running nitto TG's , but that is not set in stone.

Appericate all the help

well then you cant believe everything you read on here. im running 305/55r20 and had very little rubbing. i wanted none so i spent about an hour with a metal grinder carefully taking a little off the top control arm. now i have no rubbing issues.
i would recommend 275/65r20. an inch taller than the 305s and a bit skinnier as well.
