stay with a 32-33" tire
the 275-65R20 doesnt come in a heavy enough ply if i remember correctly..gonna have to go with a 305-50R20 to do it or and the 18" sizes you mentioned the 275-70R18 and the 285-65R18 are the most popular sizes so i would stay with them if you go with 18's.

I agree 285/65R18 would work the best.
