need tire advise

Newbie here, got a 2002 F250. Got a front leveling kit installed today and had already bought 35" BFG's but they're on rims that don't fit. I'm planning to order rims that are 16.5 x 10 but am not sure if I should attempt to put the 35's on or sell them and buy 33 x 12.5 instead. I don't want the truck to look to small in the wells for the 35's .Any advice? Thanx.

even with the leveling kit, your still going to get some serious rubbing. i'd definatly go with a 305-70. thats a really good sized tire for the superduty.

if you want to see what a unlifted SD with 35's looks like go check out yeti's gallery.

I did take a look at Yeti's, beautiful truck and I'm surprised at how the truck looked before the lift. Actually looks better then I thought it would. I expected rubbing but thought the 35 would look crammed and have no gap between the tire and the well but Yeti's didn't look to bad. I've got the same exact tire he does, maybe I'll find a set of rims and see what happens.Worst comes to worse, I sell the 35's and buy 33's, Thanx for your help.
