how wide of a tire can i fit?

well i have 20 x 9.5 or 10's..and im running 305/55R20 A/T toyo's..well im not satisfied honestly..i want to either sell wheels or trade them for something that sticks out further!!THOUGH I HEARD GETTING A WIDER TIRE MIGHT make them stick out further..so whats the widdest tire i can go with on my rim?or should i just trade or sell rims and get something different with a different offset?
HERE IS MY TRUCK







AND THIS IS WHAT I WANT MY WHEELS TO STICK OUT TOO!!!!

Might want to check your local laws. In Nebraska you have to put on fender flares and/or mud flaps if they stick out. Just a heads up.

I think you can go up to 4-5" wider then your wheel. Im pushing it with my rims and tires. I have 14" wide tires on stock wheels...i think thay are 7" wide. and they stick out about as much as yours do now.

California has the same law. Can't go beyond the fender:

27600. No person shall operate any motor vehicle having three or
more wheels, any trailer, or semitrailer unless equipped with
fenders, covers, or devices, including flaps or splash aprons, or
unless the body of the vehicle or attachments thereto afford adequate
protection to effectively minimize the spray or splash of water or
mud to the rear of the vehicle and all such equipment or such body or
attachments thereto shall be at least as wide as the tire tread
.
This section does not apply to those vehicles exempt from
registration, trailers and semitrailers having an unladen weight of
under 1,500 pounds, or any vehicles manufactured and first registered
prior to January 1, 1971, having an unladen weight of under 1,500
pounds.

Wider tire will stick out a bit more but it looks to me like, what your after is going to require a rim with different offset.

That should be about what you want, though I think it also depends on rim width??
