I have a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500, I currently have 35 12.50 17s with a -6 offset on stock height with very minimal rubbing. I was thinking about getting 35 12.50 20s with a -44 offset and a 2" leveling kit and longer control arms for a 2"-3" lift. Will I have any problem clearing these?

There shouldn't be any scrub at all with -44 offset alone. Tack in the 2 in lift and you should be good.

Going to have a lot off tire out past the fender,like 3+ inches. Going to be very close to the bumper and fender.

Agreed, i learned through experience when i ran a 16x10 with a 1.5" spacer and 36's on a 3". It came too close; and by that i mean i had to "trim" a bit.

Thats guna be cuttin it real close. especially if your on uneven ground and turning.
