So...

Here's my version of the same old question.

8.5" x 20" rim with 15mm positive offset

Do you think I can squeeze in a 275/60-20 tire with stock ride height? It is exactly 33" tall.

The backup option is 275/55-20 which is 31.9".

Thanks

I forgot to mention NBS. From what I hear it's a little tighter fit. I don't mind cutting though; just don't want to alter suspension geometry.
