    Maybe if you drive in a straight line and never hit a bump. I've got 285's on 18x9 rims with a 3" lift and I just had a cab-mount chop done.

    I'm on 275/70-18 aka 33x11 (on OE 18" rims) with 1.5" spacers and had to trim the fender liners and fenders. You'll be at 32x12, so quite a bit of trimming could be needed, most likely including a CMC

    Would it work with a 6" lift?
    The Wheels have a -51 Offset

    I can't speak from experience since mine is only lifted 3", but I would imagine you'd still get some rubbing when the suspension articulates.

    So what would be a good set up to run with a 3" Lift that looks good and doesn't cause any rubbing?

    I'd recommend looking at some of the threads on here, seeing what others are running, and see what looks good to you. I was running a 275/65 18 (32x11) prior to my current set and didn't have much rubbing. I'm not sure what that would equate to on a 20" rim (if that's what you're dead set on).

    With the 275/65 18 and a 3in Lift set up can the wheels have an offset? And still be okay?

    Again, I'm not sure. My wheels are OEM
