I actually worded my post wrong. I should have said 0 offset or more. Like scanj0 said, some trucks will get some minor radius arm rubbing with stock offset. The less offset you have, the further the wheel sticks out. To little offset and you start rubbing bumpers, brackets, liners and fenders. +18 is a good offset if you want to keep the tires flush, but not rub the radius arms.
2 things:
I think a 295/65/20(35-35.5" tall) is going to rub with aftermarket wheels and w/o a level kit.
For offset, the +18mm is the way to go if you are trying to protect as much truck as you can with the fenders. I ran some "0" offset on my last truck and it took quite a beating. I'm trying my hardest on my new truck to stick with stock wheels.
Many tire makers offer a 295/60/20 which is about the same height as the stock 275/65/20 and should allow aftermarkets wheels without clearance issues. If a guy is good with 18" wheels, the 295/70/18 is a great size with max loading specs. It comes in a bit taller than the stock tire and wider.
I basically have the same truck as you but I got it in Blue Jeans. I want new wheels and I found the Fuel Hostage wheels which I liked a lot.(The ones you have)but I wasn't sure how they would perform with weight. Also did you go with the 20x10s or the 18x8.5s? My suspension is stock and it looks like yours is too so what did you put for your offset?

They do ride somewhat rougher, I expected that from an E rated 10ply tire, but it is no means a bad ride at all. Haven't had them off road yet, but my driveway is crushed asphalt and I am not picking up rocks from the tires, I was concerned that would be an issue. I have run Nitto Terra Grapplers for a long time and I like these better. Time will tell on how many miles I get from them. It is actual raining today in Southern California so I will be able to see how they handle wet roads. Below are some pictures.
