Which size on these exact wheels (20s)

Alright fellas, I want some pics and/or comments on what tire will fit on these factory wheels with little to no rubbing:

06+ 20" factory wheels on my 04 truck.

Specs:

2004 F150 Lariat
2.5" leveling kit



I am running 325/60R20s (35s) right now and I just cannot turn that sharp due to the tire smacking the upper control arm and frame. I want to go with either:
  • 305/55/R20 Nitto Terras or Cooper Zeons
  • 295/60/R20 Nitto Terras

But im not sure which is the better fit. I realize the 305 is the equiv to a 33X12.50 and the 295 is the equiv to a 34X11.50, but dont know which would fit better and have little to no rubbing on that exact wheel. Someone with one of the setups please chime in with pics (if available)

The 295 should fit will, a narrower tire means less rubbing if any at all.

How about a 275/65/20, no rubbing issues at all.

The 295's would look great. Also, BFG makes the AT KO in a 285/65-20 which is basically a 35x11.50 as compared to your BFG's that are basically a 35x13.00-20.

I have 35 x 12.5 Federal MT's on my mine and just added a 1/4" spacer and they only rub at full lock sometimes
