Wheel and Tire

I have a 2006 F150 Lariat 4X4 I'm adding a 3 inch steel spacer in the front. I have found a Eagle alloy wheel that says has a +25 offset. I'm wondering what is the biggest tire I will be able to fit. Also with a 3 inch spacer would it look weird with a add a leaf on the rear.

Don't get a 3" spacer! That's a bad idea. At the most go with 2.5" or better yet 2".

And the offset of the wheel is useless without knowing the width. But a 33x12.50 will fit fine unless you are talking about a really wide wheel.

Alright if I'm reading your post correctly you already installed them (hard to read with no punctuation), so I hope your ready to start replacing cv axles, ball joints, and tie rod ends a lot more than normal.

And a 315 what? Your missing two numbers..

Do you mean a 35x10.50r20?

With a leveling kit and a 9 inch wide wheel with +25mm offset (6 inches of backspacing), you can easily fit a 33x12.50 tire. I believe you would have some serious rubbing if you went with a 35x12.50 tire.
And members here discovered years ago that a 3 inch leveling kit/spacer leaves the ball joints and CV joints (on 4x4's) at too severe of an angle to last.
