20" wheel help, I know one more, but I could use the help

I'm looking at getting 20" wheels/tires for my truck.
2004 FX4 - 2.5" front and 3" rear leveling.

Here are some options:
- Used, 20x10 Moto Metal, with 315 Nittos (they may be 305s, he's checking)
- He says they only rub when he backs up and full turn? He has a 2" front level.
- But theses are the cheapest option. Big_Smokey did answer this, but these may end up being 305s.

- New, KMC XD Diesel 20x9, with Nittos, Toyos, or Coppers?
- Not sure what the best tire size would be, ideally I don't want any rubbing. 295/60/20?

Wheels:
- I'm open for suggestions, not black.
- I like the KMC XD Diesel

Tires:
- I like the look of Nitto Trail Grapplers(anyone have those, how do they ride), or the Terra Grapplers.
- The Toyo MT ones looks good.
- Copper LTZ, not sure, maybe if they were a good deal.

Goal:
Get a 20" wheel/tire package that looks good, but is the best deal, that doesn't rub.

Thanks for any help.

What it looks like now:


The KMCs:


The used 20x10 wheels available:

Thanks. I just want it more of a looker for the summer.

I just found out the tires are 305/50/20 on a 20x10 wheel.
Not sure if the rubbing will happen on mine, if so, can I live with it.

They won't rub. Bluejay runs that size tire on the Roush rims. Here's his album.
