Need Suggestions for tires/rims

I have 2008 2500, has 17's factory. Since i pull 5th wheel i can't lift it which sucks! i really want my truck to sit a little higher and look a little better. I was thinking maybe some rims,tires and a leveling kit will do it. I dont know much about offsets but i want the tires to go as wide as i can and i want them to stick out past the fenders a couple inches to give it that "beefy" look. So what size offset for LMM to achieve that and any suggestions on tires/rims?

I honestly think a leveled truck with 285/75/17 looks awesome. Thats a 33.5x11.25x17 and will fit on a leveled truck and give it a beefy look.

My tires are 305/65/17 KM2. Im not sure on offset I don't know that aspect of wheels but I know about tires. Im sure some guys on here have some pictures of 285/75/17 on a leveled truck.

Do you personally think 305/65/17 will be to big of a tire with aftermarket rims and leveling kit?

I don't think so I think they are about the same size as the 285/75/17 maybe a little shorter but a little wider.

Hmm i just need to know what size rims to run on the lmm, (offset) and such. Keep in mind i want them to stick out a couple inches past fenders. (2inch to 2.5inch) i think that would look good
