Anyone running 305/55R20 with 2" lift

Anyone running 305/55R20 with 2" lift do they rub with aftermarket wheels? I have these on my truck now and I rub on upper and lower control arms and sway bar. I am wondering if aftermarket wheels will fix this or do I just need smaller tires?

Please help!

How can I tell if these wheel specs will prevent me from rubbing? I cant drop $1000 on wheels and then have same problem.
+12 offset 20 x 9.0 6 x 135 5.47" BS

Also what kind of tires do you have? I have Toyo ATs.

So you can turn FULL LOCK both forwards and backwards with no rubbing at all?

That is what I need. Just need to find out what wheels will allow me to do this....

Yes, I can turn to full lock without rubbing.
Do you have stock wheels now? My wheels stick out about 1" more than stock wheels,they stick out just a hair beyond the fender flares.
