Oh, and I also put SumoSprings longer bump stops on the frame for the front axle, that I would advise as well to mitigate clearance issues. Here are some pictures of my install:

Nice looking truck but if you have to lower the bump stops down and limit up travel then there are other issues and that is a terrible thing to advise, up travel from ride height is critical for suspension performance.

Looking at the pictures I would guess those wheels are 0 offset.

I actually didn't lower the bump stops, there is a kit to do that, but I instead went with the sumosprings bump stop replacement. They are intended to add 800lbs capacity when compressed, but in my set up they are about 3/4" from making contact unloaded, so there is plenty of suspension travel available (from making contact, and then compression of the sumosprings). The 2" lift is a spring spacer that seems to be working out well, I would have rather done the longer springs, but I was able to get the standard length at such a good deal, even with the spacers it was half the cost of the longer springs, even with lowest cost ones I could find.
 
"ideal" is subjective, Looking at it objectively, Problem meant clearance. -24mm with a 4.6BS will clear with his provided wheel and tire dimensions on his suspension setup according to CO. They have a gallery for a reason, and it behooves them to do the math and verify their submissions to the gallery. They're experts at this because they do it day in and day out give them a call if you have questions.

Here is a tire size calculator, you may find it useful.
18's will give you a much better ride,cheaper tires and Thuren's write up as Aedelheit posted. When we were in Florida the firepit wheels were very popular.
