Tire Advice.....Again
Good Morning all,
I have a 2015 F350CCSB.
Stock Suspension.
It came with 17" aluminum wheels and 265-70-17 BFG's. I always thought they looked a little small for the truck and space in the wheel well.
The factory tires are worn out at 38,000 so I am looking to replace them.
A co-worker has given me a set of pristine 18x8 aluminum wheels from his 2014 XLT.
I would like to fill up some more of the wheel well than was stock.
Using the 18" rims, what size can I safely go to without rubbing?
Thanks in advance for everybody's input!
This forum has proven very useful.

295/70/18, great larger size, works on stock tires, no rubbing issues, heavy load rating, lots of tire options from mudders to what I'm currently running, the Michelin Defender LTX. If I was going for more of any AT tire, I would go Cooper AT3 again for sure.
Another note, I see you have a 6.2 and I'm going to assume 3.73 gears. Leaving your smaller stock size be prepared for an mpg hit and if you tow, another hit there. Just an fyi. To minimize the negative impact, try to avoid the heavy mud tires.
