tire size

I have a 1999 F-150 4x4 Sport. The factory tires that came on it were 265/70R17. I am going down to a 16" wheel and I was wondering what was the biggest and widest tire I can put on it? I do pull a camper and it squats the rear end quite a bit. The tire guy suggested a 265/75R16 tire. Can I go bigger without rubbing, or will these tires look good on it? I want as wide as I can get but not rub while pulling my camper.
