Default 05 Z71 tire and wheel help

I recently bought a 05 crew cab 1500 z71 silverado.atm its bone stock,I plan to add the rough country full leveling kit (front/rear w/shocks) I would like to go with 285 70 18 all terains on 18x9 inch wheels.posted on here to see if anyone knows the back spaceing ill need to keep anything from rubbing,or if this tire/wheel combo will even work.I've been looking for an aggressive tread pattern that won't break the bank and one big factor is I want the tires to be wide enough to stick out the fenders slightly.I don't want my truck lookin like a fat man on stilts.any insight would be helpfull

Do a 18x9 with a -12 offset. On those 285/70 they should stick out with passed the fender may need a lil trimming but it'll work

Should be relatively the same size. And it's not just a 2" kit. You can go to 2.5" but that's as far as i's go
