Looking to start fooling around with my truck again, '98 12V 4x4, front lowered 2 5/8" rear is level with front, wanting to run 20x9 or 20x10 wheels with 305/50R20s

What I want to know is: what back spacing and offset will give the least or no rubbing on lock to lock steering and also NOT stick out past the fenders excessively?
 
I have a set of 20x9 BMFs with a 0 offset, 5' backspacing on 305/50R20s that barely rub the fender at full lock and they barely stick outside of the fender. Not sure how far its lowered, but I used 1500 springs in the front which have it pretty close to the axle stops.

Does the front lift much under acceleration with the 1/2 ton springs ?

I honestly have not noticed the front lifting under acceleration, but I don't think I've even been past half throttle since I lowered it about 4 months ago
 
I had 305 50r20 on my 2004 1500 and they looked amazing on the truck! if u want any pics i can post a few.

the only issue i had was the back wheels the wheel well liners would rub on the inside of the tire.
