Question Tire sizing

Hey this is my first post so stay with me here haha. I have a 92 4x4 W250 cummins completely stock suspension wise and I was woundering if I could fit some 20x12 hostages wrapped in 305/55r20s with much rub? I wouldnt mind levelling the front if I have to for them to clear. Digging the look of this thing.
Let me know your info!

I can see from your picture you'd need to do a ton of fender trimming.

You would definitely have to level and probably do an all out lift and more than likely fenders would need to be trimmed with anything less than a 3-4 in front lift

It would ride rougher with the low profile tires.

12 inch wide rims will make the wheels stick out quite a bit, adding to fender rub problems when you try to turn it.

Are you telling me these trucks can ride rougher than they do stock?
