What is my biggest tire I can fit??

So I’ve got a 2013 F250 lariat 6.7. I don’t have a level or anything. Stock suspension. The truck has stock wheels that are 18x8. I’d like to know what the biggest tires that I can put under it without getting a level. Thinking about getting new 18x9 aftermarket wheels.
Thanks!

‘Biggest’ as in widest? Tallest? Heaviest? Most side wall? It would be helpful to have more info about what you are looking to accomplish.

I guess tallest. I like sidewall. And I do some hauling but nothing too extreme. I don’t need a wise tire but want a nice stance. Sorry for not having enough info.
I heard 33s work. And some 35s work

With 20” wheels, many guys have the 295/65/20, which is a 35” tire.

Does that change with the fact that I have 18” wheels? Or does that size stay primarily the same?

As noted above, 295/65/20s are a great height and width for a stock or leveled Super Duty. They are also rated for the OEM wheel width, whereas most 35x-12.50x20s are not. They also have a higher load capacity than almost all of the similar sized flotation tires.

There is a similar size in the 18” rim variety. It is a 295/70/18.

I use 295/70/18 on my 2011 XLT. On my third set of those. Stock suspension, stock wheels. I don't think anything larger will fit without issues.

Not a great look at the wheels on the most recent picture but you get the idea vs the OEM ContiTrac tire picture. These are Cooper Discoverer S/T MAXX. Previous were Toyo OC and Nitto Terra's.
Edit: found a better picture except it's raining.

Those definitely do look better and fill up the space without sticking out! Thanks. Getting money together to delete my truck first. But then I’ll probably look towards that same route!

Found a better comparison picture for you. Almost got it replaced in time!

I’m about to put the 295/70/18 on my 2011, except I just did a 2.5 level kit and 5” rear blocks on it. Thinking they’ll be a perfect fit.

Stock 2016 f250 with 285/75r18 duratracs. Spec out at 35.1\" tall.

Tires clear factory splash guards with plenty of room. My buddy has same size tires on after market wheels. His tires slightly rub his weather tech splash guards, even with a level.

My truck also has the snow plow prep and camper packages.
