Need Help with Wheel & Tire Decision

I think I know which wheel I want to go with (XD Chrome Hoss) but am not sure of what size 18" or 20" and what offset -12, +18 or +30. I have fender flares on the truck which add some width to the truck so ideally I would want a wheel to stick out as far as possible to make it flush with the fender flare. Also need to know what size tire to go with (285/65/18 or? or on the 20s 305/55/20 or 285/55/20). Truck is stock height with the tires listed in my signature with the torsion bars turned up. I plan to put a 2" leveling kit in the front if I have to but would just like to turn up the torsion bars as far as possible and get little to no rubbing. Any help tips and pics would be great. Also if you can think of a wheel that might look better than XD Chrome Hoss please let me know. Thanks

Here's a pic of my truck:

Need suggestions on performance mods that don't void factory warranty.

Interested in deleting DPF and mild performance upgrade/best tuner for my combo

Need 20" XD Badland Wheels -12 offset & Nitto Mud Grappler Tires or similar 305/55/20 or slightly smaller. Where's the best place to buy them?
