tire size

Need a lil bit of info here guys..
Just purchased a 1997 f-150 4X4 with the lariat package.
Truck is sweet but I'm wondering about maximum tire height without any mods (lift kits, etc..). Currently running 265/70R17 tires (appx. 31/10.5). Was wondering if 33/12.5 tires will fit without rubbing??
Other than tires my only performance mods will probably be Cat-forward header system, Cat-back duals to the rear, K&N air filter and maybe a B&M transpak. May also go with a cobra style hood with cold air induction when money allows (teens are expensive to raise and I have 3 of em).This truck is my new daily driver and grocery gitter *laughing*, so it has to be reliable but still fun to drive.Appreciate any help ya'll can offer.

I have done some research because I am in the same situation you are with my 2000 F-150 4x4. A 275/70-17 will work for sure it is about an 1" taller and an 1" wider. A 285/70-17 might work but I have been told they might be to large. I found some different tires in these sizes at http://www.tirerack.com/

(Some good options)

275/70-17
- Goodyear Wrangler GS-A 275/70-17
- Goodyear Wrangler AT/S 275/70-17
- Goodyear Wrangler MT/R 275/70-17

285/70-17
- BFGoodrich MT
- Goodyear Wrangler MT/R 275/70-17
