Leveling kit
Hey y'all I just bought myself a 2013 stx 4x4 and I'm looking to put a rough country 2.5 leveling kit in it. This also comes with the 1" block for the rear. I have ordered a set of 18" by 9 wheels with a 0+ offset now what I'm wondering is what's going to be the best size tire to put on her? I'm worried about rubbing I don't want to have to do any cutting of the inner fender.

If you don't want any rubbing I'd suggest sticking with a 285/75R18 or a 295/70R18. I had 325/65R18s on 18x9s with -12 offset (4.5" backspacing) when I had my F150 leveled, but I wasn't afraid to take a grider to my fenders

TG= Terra Grappler, AT. I'd imagine the MT wouldn't last as long? I'm actually considering the Dura Grappler for the next set as I really don't do much off roading except getting into the jobsites at work or going after some firewood occasionally

I was looking at the 295/70r18. I think it will fill the wheel well nice. Pluses with the 0+ offset I think it will push them out a touch so I don't think I'll have a problem

If you push them out too far, you'll rub the fenders instead of the UCAs.

Do you think a 0+ offset is to much? I was going to go with the -12 but the dealer talked me out of it. I intend to put a RCX 6" lift in at some point I'm trying to see if I have ford put it in if they would honor my warranty.
