New tires, stock wheels

I've got the 2015 f150 crew XLT with stock 18in wheels. I'm wanting more aggressive tires for my stock wheels. I do not have a lift/level.
I like the looks of the BFG K02.
Just wondering what size I can get to fit my stock 18's and not rub with no lift/level
Thanks
I'm new here BTW

What size of tire did you go with? Those look like stock wheels. Do you have a lift/leving kit? Do you rub at all?

18" tires are so expensive though. I have 18" FX4 wheels/tires for my 2005 and when they wore out, it cost me less to get new tires and wheels than to replace the 18" tires.

I still have those wheels, will they work on the 2015?

You think 18s are expensive, but have you priced 20's? In 10 ply? Dang!

Lucky us, we had to put tires on my F250 and my wife's Flex about 2 months apart. Over $2k between the two of them! Sadly the 19s for the Flex were within spitting distance of the 20s for my truck.

That truck in the pic has at least a leveling kit in the front. With the stock suspension, you are going to be limited as to what size you can put on it without rubbing in the turns.
You might get away with one size bigger.

The 275/70/18 bfg at I saw were on a stock truck. Looked pretty good, close to needing level but ok. I am running the same size on my truck but in a 20 inch wheel and havent lifted it yet.

275 70 18 (33") fit no problem on F150s, no rubbing. No level or lift required. 275 is stock width, you are only going up in overall diameter.

Might want to take a look at the Cooper Discoverer AT3. I just put a set on my Expedition. hey don't look super aggressive but get great ratings. I saved about 500 over a set of KO2s. I am happy with so far, they have been great in the rain, and dry. Also Kelly Safari TSRs are awesome. I am on my second set on my 01 Expedition, first set lasted 61000 miles. They ride good, about same noise level as original BFG ATs I had on my F150. They have been great in everything, rain, ice 18" of snow on unplowed roads. Only reason IU didn't put them on my 10 Expd is they don't make them ion 20s. I may go with them I resize to 17s and 33s.

Wondering how much the k02 have effected your gas mileage? I traded in my Tacoma TRD with k02s for my new f150 ecoboostt and was wondering, cause my Tacoma went from 14.9L/100km (15mpg) down to 17L/100km (13mpg!!!!!) hahah not a super big deal but thought I would ask out of curiosity.
