Help with New Wheels and Tires, Please

I have a 2010 Platinum. I would like to do a 2" leveling and add some new rims and tires. IF I want to stay with a 20" wheel what size tire could i go up to without it rubbing? This is all new to me. I would like to get a 20" rim and as big of a tire that I can without rubbing. If you have suggestions for the tires that would be appreciated too. I get confused with all of the numbers being shouted out so I hope I can get some good advice. Thanks in advance.

With a level, we can run 35x12.5 on the new models. Why spend the cash on new wheels though, I like the plat factories..... LT295/60/20 is a 34.5 x 11.5 tire, which would look pretty sweet too. Might be a little better at resisting cupping, to give you better wear. I ordered my new nitto trail grapplers today. check the pics on nittotire.com and see if they have anything that interests you.

As a general rule with a leveling kit on a 4x4 you can fit 35's with the OEM wheels or 33's with aftermarket wheels. With the OEM 20's you will need to use a narrower 35 inch tire like a 295/60-20 or 285/65-20 because of the BS on the stock 20's.
