275-65-20 is 34 inches and will not fit without doing more mods to the truck.
I have seen many owners run the 33x12.5. If you get any rub, a wheel spacer may be used.

Sorry if this has already been answered but can you run 275/60/20 k02s with just the 1” lift or is the 1.5” the minimum needed without rubbing?

Dont want to get flamed outta here. But I notice you also offer lowering links. Though I'm not seeing any pics of them installed anywhere. https://www.johnsonrods.com/product-...g-kit-1-5-inch

Is there a thread any where (can't find any in search) or any pics you could post up @Johnson Rods ?

[QUOTE= Some customers are using 30 mm spacers to get additional offset.

I see a couple times you reference the use of 275-60-20 tire and use of 30mm spacers. Do you have any pictures of this? Also I am not sure I understand how spacers would stop a rub? I have already installed the 1.5 inch lift and am planning on BFG KO2s in the size I listed on stock wheels. I am also adding fender extenders and would like to offset the wheels to take up the space but figured I would not be able to as it seems like others on other threads report creating a rub when spacers are used. Any advice or info would be great.

Default Lift with 22s

I love the 22s but wish I had a more aggressive tire. Has anyone done the lift with 22s to get a little more sidewall on a bigger tire? Yes I know I should change wheel size. Wanted 20s on the v8 but the deal for below MSRP was on 22s and they are kind of growing on me.

Default 1.5” Johnson Rods.

Hi. Looking to install the 1.5” Johnson Rods. I like the look with 285x45. Any issues with a 20” Wheel? Also, I have OEM Mud-flaps. Any rubbing issues at full turn or at shock compression on an off road uneven surface?

For the 20" wheel you can run the 285-45 but the choices are limited if you want an off road tire.
