Tire size advice 2007 f150

I need some help deciding which size tire to go with. I have a 2007 screw 4x4
I am putting 2.5 inch lift front and 1in rear. I currently have 18" rims and am going to get new 18" rims with same factory offset. Dealer says I can do 33's or 35's. 33's would be just slightly larger than my stock 275-65-18's. looks like I could do 35's and they should work.

Will I regret going with the 33's over 35's? This is manly a street truck and goal is a bit more agressive tire and total add of about 3-4 inches to the truck. I want it to look good but don't want to worry about rubbing or having a undersize look.

I am looking at the 305 65 18 BFG KO all terrian. Thanks for any advice.

The general rule is you can a 35x12.5x18 on stock wheels or wheels with the same offset as factory. Since you are putting a 2.5" F/1" R on an 07 you could probably get away with a 35 on aftermarket wheels.

Thanks,

I like the look of your grill. I want to keep the ford showing as well. What brand is that?

Here is the exact grill I have, it even comes with a bracket to mount the original ford oval if you want it.
