2012 2.5 Leveling kit tire options?

[lsingleton36]

I just bought a 2.5 inch leveling kit for my 2012 Big Horn. I'm wanting to keep my stock 20 inch rims (since I'm in college and broke). I'm pretty sure I read I can clear 33's just fine without anything special. I'm not too kind on the idea of wheel spacers since people have advised against them (and its more money). But I will consider it. I'm sure this question has been asked too many times, but I for the life of me can't find anything. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Also, semi side note.
On my last truck (an '06 F150) I had 35's on my ideal wheels. I know the bolt pattern was different (6x135mm). Is it possible I could use those with a bolt adapter? Wouldn't it act essentially like a wheel spacer?

Thanks,
Logan

you can fit 35's but can only have a 11.25 tire unless you get a quarter inch wheel spacer then you can fit 12.5 i believe. and as far as wheel spacers i think that anything bigger then .25 its causes a lot of wear on the front end parts

Great, thank you. Is that the set up you have?

This is mine, 2.5" level and 295/65/20 nitto trail grapplers. I rub at full lock but I've got new wheels coming to fix that problem!

You probably don't notice since they don't, but do you know if they come close? And are the rock stars 20's?

no there 17's but there about a half to a quarter inch away at full lock but each truck sit's different some are more nose high to begin with.

Thanks! I'm guessing I'm leaning towtoward 35's but I still don't want them to be too big.
