I want to upgrade wheels and tires on my newly acquired stock vehicle (TLC 2014 200 series).
Current set up is stock wheels and tires (285/60R18 120H)

If I upgrade from 18" to 20" will there be rubbing issues?
Should I go all in and upgrade suspension, wheels and tires and the bumpers.

I had slight rubbing on tight turns in my Taco when I upgraded to the BFG K2, but I didn't need to do anything else.
So I am wondering if anyone else had these issues or recommendations.

This is my family daily driver and I'm not one to go crazy in modifications.
I just want to be able to have a set of wheels and tires to through on for overlanding trips and then switch back for the daily commute.

I will also take recommendations for tough wheel brands.

Thanks

Generally speaking a solid 33" all terrain tire will cover your needs and won't require much effort to make fit. Wheel offset plays a large role in what rubs and where. Stay between 25mm-50mm for the offset, higher offset number will poke out less and require less work/massaging to make fit. Stick with a 17" or 18" wheel. Popular sizes here are LT275/70R18, Lt285/70r17 and LT285/65r18 as these all will fit with minimal fuss. The stock wheels work well and have an offset of either 56mm (2016+) or 60mm (2008-2015).
Start with all terrain tires and then upgrade to sliders and skids if your wheeling dictates additional armor.

The biggest deciding factor should be your ultimate plans for the 200 (fire trails, camping, or rock...
