Got the leveling kit..now i need tires...

I got my skyjacker 2.5" level kit put on monday..now i am in the market for some rubber..i like the BFG All-Terrain T/A KO...i want to go as big as i can without ANY rubbing on stock 20" wheels...i have it narrowed down to 3 choices..either the 285/55, the 285/65, and the 305/55...which would look the best on the stock wheels and leveled? any suggestions? i would prefer no rubbing at all..and minimum sticking out from under the truck...thanks....

I'd go with the 305/55-20's (33x12.50) also.

i've read several reviews..i just can't make the decision between the 305/55's and the 285/65's....i have heard from some that the 305's will rub and others say it won't..i am going to be using stock wheels...don't know much about spacers..but would i need any? i wish i could see a KR with stock 20's with both sets of tires to make my choice..does anyone know of a gallery that has pics of those?
