I hadn’t planned on doing new rims, just sticking with the stocks but the more I look, the more I want. Can you help me please...

I will be staying stock or 2” level kit at most and I want to stay with a 20” rim. I won’t be going huge with a tire, between stock size and a 33” all terrain at most I believe.

So, what is the backspacing or offset I need to be looking at to keep the tires under the truck like they are but not worry about rubbing?

So +19 is stock offset. Would that mean that 0 offset sticks out further or tucks under further?

Next question...about how much further? Lol

I appreciate the help, you are clearing up lots of questions I have. I found a rim I’m thinking of but it only comes in 0 and -18 is why I’m asking.

19mm.....go with the zero if those are your two choices and you're going to purchase that wheel. If you do the 2in level you can fit a 295/60/20

The difference between stock +19 and 0 is 3/4” further out, if you do the -18 it would be 1.46”. Go to tiresize.com/wheel-offset-calculator if you want to play around a bit.
