tire size

I have a 2001 superduty 7.3. My question is how big of a tire can put on with stock suspension and not rub. Right now I have 285 65 16. I have not installed a leveling kit.
Any info would be great thanks

Did you have a leveling kit or any suspension upgrades when you ran that size that's the size I'm really wanting to go with.
