Need a little help here

I have a 2004 F-150. If I were to put a leveling kit on it, how big of a tire could I fit under it without them rubbing? I have a guy telling me 35s, but I believe he is wrong. What do you all think?

A 33 inch tall tire will fit just fine.

I seen 35s but they rub the frames at full lock and when you go offroad the tires hit the finders if things get rough.

Thanks, that's what I was thinking. I have a friend that has 33s and she said they even rub a little when she turns hard.

I put 285-65-18 (33x11.5) on my truck and all I did was cut the corners off the front valance. I then put on a 3 inch spacer lift. Next time I'm gonna buy a set of 34x10.5 and try them.

got 35s on mine. Well 295s, but they are like 34.75". They only rub turing to the right and backing up, but it just barely touchs the lower a arm. I only have a 2.5" HBS leveling kit.
