What tire size will work

Hello, I'm new to the forum and a new, 2013 STX 4x4 owner. The truck came certified pre-owned from the dealership with new P275/65R OWL all-terrain Goodyear tires on 18" cast alum wheels.

I want to take the stock tires while they are virtually new, and trade them in on the largest BF Goodrich AT tires that will fit without rubbing (during normal use) or modification to the stock suspension.

Can anyone out there please tell me if they know what size I can go with that will do the job?

Thanks in advance for any advice forthcoming.

I wouldn't go much more than one size . I plan to put BF Goodrich all terrains on my truck, but Im staying with the stock size.

I would go with the 285/60r18 mainly because it is a D range tire. It should fit as it is under 32" and just over 11" wide.

I just ordered bfg at ko2 in 285/65r20 for my truck but I have a 2" level up front.

I put 275/70 R18's on my 2013 FX4 with stock suspension and they don't rub. Only problem they cause by being a larger diameter than stock is to mess up the navigation system. Ford factors in wheel speed for distance calculations, Garmin doesn't. So a typical $89 Garmin GPS can still operate correctly but the Ford navigation often shows my truck position off of the road or about a block shy of where I actually am.
