Tires?

Ok I have a 2001 ford f150 supercrew and I just ordered my leveling kit and I was hanging out with my friend who recently just got his jeep lifted a bit and he put BFgoodrich a/t ko tires on it and I loved the look of the tires. I was wondering what size I could put of the same
Tire on my truck.

Sorry forgot to add that I have a 1.5 inch level and don't want rubbing obviously and would rather not trim anywhere

285/75/16 or 305/70/16 trimming the valence a little is just about mandatory and takes all of 5 minutes.

Could I possibly put LT tires? I'm seeing in the description it say light truck. I'm seeing some tires with 265/70/17 would that size look a bit odd with a leveling kit?

Are you 2wd or 4x4?

Stock wheels?

I currently have 285/75R/16's on my '97 F-150 with no lift, or leveling kit, or tightened torsion bars, they are Toyo A/T's with over 75% tread left.

I am getting a 2.5" leveling kit to put 35's on my truck, I bought some 35/12.5/17 Good year fierce attitudes, and I'm hoping all goes well.

That is a sexy ride man. Those the KOs? Is it leveled with any lift or what? I wouldn't mind my ride looking like that

On stock height 2wd, somewhere around a 31x11.50 (or whatever the metric equivalent is) with a non aggressive tread (possibly a 32 with some minor trimming) or so would fit nicely. Can't really go any bigger though without adding a leveling kit or a full lift. And can't go any wider without going to a wider set of wheels.
