Any problem switching from 18's to 20's

I am in the need of new tires on my 04 screw. I am looking through the classifieds and seeing a few good deals on tire and wheel combos but want to make sure that I can swap in a 20 inch rim in place of my 18's with now problem. My current tire size is the standard 275-65r-18. I want to be able to just unbolt the old and bolt on a 20 in its place. Is this possible? My truck is stock height so what max tire size would I be looking at? Thanks for the help.

Judging from you oem tire size, I guess you have a 4x4. I'd go with a 305/55-20 (33x12.50) tire.

I went from 18's to 17's and now have OEM 20's! No problems just a little more weight! Also I have a 305/55/20 tire and it looks great but does slightly rub at full lock!

I went from 18 to 20's with no problem. 20x8.5 with 30mm offset wrapped in 305/50 tires. No rubbing at all with stock ride height.
