Best size tires for an FX4 with a leveling kit?

I put a leveling kit on my 2010 Fx4 SuperCrew back in August. The truck looks good with the lift, but the I get lots of comments about needing bigger tires (they do look small). I think slightly larger tires would make the truck look better, however I do worry about the bigger tires rubbing and increased road noise. Anyone have any recommendations as to a good size tire for my truck? If you have pictures, that would be even better. I plan to mount the new tires on the factory 20" rims. The current tires are 275/55/20. Thank in advance!

Only my opinion but I think 33'' tire looks best with a level only. Anything bigger looks like its stuffed.

i've been looking at doing the same thing -- and i'm leaning towards LT305/55r20 -- terra grapplers with some aftermarket rims -- these tires may be too wide to run on stock 20 inch rims -- maybe a LT275/65r20 (34 x 11) would work.

305/55/20 GY Dura Trac on my 2010 FX4 for a 2" leavling, and I couldn't be happier.

Agreed. 305/55/20 tires of your choice will fit and look very nice on the FX4 rims.

Those Duratracs fit perfect. How many miles do you have on them and how long do you think they'll last? I've heard great things about them, but some say they develop more road noise after a while.
Edit: Sorry. I read your PM after posting. Thanks.

Can you post a direct side profile picture of your whole truck? I'm thinking those are the size of tire I want for my FX4. I'd just like to see a better angle of it.

I like 295/70/18's but I wish there were more tires available in this size. It's basically a 34x11.

305/55/20's look good too as long as you're running a slightly aggressive tread.
