It will "fit" but its going to be stretched. Not something I'd do since I don't think stretching a tire is that smart, nor does it look good, but that's my .02. Plenty of people do it and get away with it no problem.

How wide of a tire would you recommend?

I'd stick to 10" wide if it was me. But if you really want a 12" wide rim it would work, since it's only an inch wider than the tire. You're only really gonna start to see major stretching on like a 14" wide rim with that tire size. The picture is of a 275 wide tire on a 12" wide rim, so not too bad, and if you want a stretched look then I think you'd be alright with it. maxresdefault.jpg

Forgot to mention that tire is 275/35 meaning the sidewall is 35% of 275mm, while the tire you picked is 275/60, meaning it's 60% of 275mm tall, which is why it's a 33" tall tire, so it may not look as stretched at the one I posted, but will still stretch a little bit.

Thanks for the help, I tried looking for 20x10s but for some reason a wheel and tore package for those are more expensive than the one I found for 20x12s and I like wheels with a little bit of stretching so I'll go with those.

No problem man. Hope everything works out, cant wait to see them when they get mounted.
I will definitely post a pic when I get them on there but the site I'm ordering them from has a 4-8 week back order on the setup I want so it will take a little while
