So I have been looking for wheels for my truck, the tires on the truck now are on the stock wheels and rubbing the sway bar.

So I googled the stock wheel size and found this

Factory Wheel Back Space Info

Which says 20X9 with a offset of +19.5 and 5.75 BS

Now I want to keep the same width wheel but just move the wheel/tire out a bit so it does not rub the sway bar but not so much I start hitting the bumper.

So the wheels I was looking at come in 20X9 with options of +12, 0, or -12 offset.
I was looking at -12 but that was when I was assuming the stock wheel was a 0 offset. So do yall think I should go with a 0 or still -12?

My tires are 305/55/20 nitto Terra grapplers but will be replaced soon with BFG AT KO of comparable size.

Edit: I am on a 2.5" HBS leveling kit up front and stock out back.

Assuming you're at stock height since you didn't mention a leveling kit. I'd stick with the 0 offset. That will move your wheel/tire 3/4" out from where they are now. You'll have more than enough clearance on the sway bar but shouldn't need to do any trimming since your tires are only 33" tall. If you want to play it really safe then you can go with the +12 offset.

They you'll have no issue running either the -12, 0 or +12 offset. All depends on how far you want your tires to stick out past the fender.
