Buying new tires soon, trying to pick a tire size!

Well, the truck probably has a couple months left in the tires that are on it and I want to start planning ahead. I'm thinking of sticking with the stock 18" wheels as I like the design and feel they would ride nicer than a bigger wheel. I've read that a lot of guys go with 35" tires and I've seen some pictures. Thinking of doing a leveling kit with it but am not sure. Anyone know the biggest tire size that will fit the 18" wheels and not rub or only rub without a leveling kit? Thanks!

35's will require a lift.
I ran BFG's 305/65/18 looked perfect on the truck IMO.
I can't imagine going much wider than that.
