Aftermarket Wheel/Tire Fitment Question

Ok guys I know that this has been asked many times but I need help making my final decision.

I have a 2007 f150 FX4 with a 2-2.5" leveling kit can't remember which one. I am getting the KMC XD 20" HOSS in black with the new NITTO Trail Grapplers.

My question is on the backset and size I can fit. The two choices for the rim sizes are 20x9 with 18mm offset and 5.71" backset, or 20x9 with -12mm offset and 4.53" backset.

Two tire sizes I'm deciding between...295 60r20 which measures 34.45x12.13 or...305 55r20 which measures 33.39x12.6.

Could anyone help me figure out which combo would work best? I'd prefet the taller 295 60r20 but not sure how good they will fit. Since the backset is shallower than on the stock rims it should help the bigger tires fit from my understanding.

Any help would be greatly appreciated I'll be buying these in about 3 weeks.

The 33's will fit with both wheels. The 35's will not fit with a 9 inch wheel with 4.5 inches of BS. Not sure if they would fit with 5.71 inches, but it would be tight if it did. Pretty sure some trimming would be involved.

Ok thanks for the input Wandell I appreciate it. It's weird because from reading through this forum there are so many different takes on this. I've from different people that they had the 35" tire with my setup and had very little to no rubbing and others say that they had to trim as much as even metal trimming. I guess no truck is exactly alike though.
