What's largest tires we can run on stock suspension?

Having issues finding exact numbers, need to decide quickly if I'm going to put a 2.5" level kit on my front. If I can put a 34" wheel/tire on with no rubbing, I'll probably not lift. Don't need to go any higher than that.... for now.

I don't have the snow plow package.

I would go with aftermarket 18x9 wheels. What's the largest tire I could fit without any issues?

My current OEM 17" wheels/tires measure just at 31" and look ridiculous!

Thanks!

If you're at stock height, I wouldn't go more than ~35" in tire diameter, or you risk tire rub when you're turning.
The stock 275/70/18 that Ford puts on a lot of the trucks is 33.2" in diameter.


Unfortunately, there aren't many bigger 18" tire sizes in a Load Range E
A 295/70/18 has a diameter of 34.3"
A 305/70/18 has a diameter of 34.8"

Thanks for the reply!

I am going with Nitto Grapplers G2 in 295/70/18 on some Pro Comp 18x9 wheels. I'll post pics in a week once I get it and my new suspension stuff installed!

Found where someone did it with a 20" wheel. I am looking at this size too, or even a 325/65R18.
