What size?
I have a 2006 2wd Supercrew with 2 1/2" leveling kit up front. I am curently running 275/60/20's. They just look too small for me, I like the tire to fill up the fender well. I am not real unhappy with the size but I want a little bigger, what is the biggest tire I can run without any problems? With the size I am running now it looks like I have plenty of room for bigger tires. here is a pic use, but the tires just look small to me.

What is the width and backspacing on those wheels? That is a huge factor.

I believe the offset is 0mm and backspace is 5.25

That really doesn't help any without knowing the wheel width.

I just did the 2.5, nothing to the rear, but the front does sit a tad higher, sometimes it looks higher sometimes it doesn't, but I am happy with it

I think you will be able to fit a 305/55-20 (33x12.50).
