Default 305/55r20 questions... overdone i know sorry ive been searching for ever

ok i know this may be posted in the wrong spot but here we go

im looking at picking up some nitto trail grapplers in 305/55r20 upon looking through the various forums ive found some people needed to install 1/4" spacers so they would'nt rub seeing that the backspacing is 5.75" on a stock 20 would that mean that i could go with anything less then 5.5" and it should not rub
i guess i should say it's a 2007 laramie 4x4 5.7 hemi stock height..

anyways here are the rims im looking at getting they want 2340 for the trail grapplers here in ft mcmurray ab which is retarted cause i can get these rims and the trail grapplers for 2379$ shipped to my door so it only makes sense to go with the combo.. and yes its a pavement princess all its going to see is extreme ice and snow

Specs
Diameter- 20''
Width - 8.5''
Offset- (+10)
Backspace - 5.14''
Bolt Pattern - 5x5.5 / 5x139.7

If your going to but new wheels as well, why don't you just go with a 17" wheel and tire combo and save yourself a few hundred bucks, plus the added sidewall will make for a better offroad/snow tire.

Check out this website, this is where I usually get my tires. These 295/70R17's would be perfect.
