question on tire size after putting on leveling kit

I have an 08 F150 4x4 with bridgestone airbags with compressor on rear. I just installed a 2.5 leveling kit in front. My question is has anyone installed these same items and if so whats the biggest tire i can put on it. The rims are 18" Thanks for any help. Also how do i insert photo in a thread if i dont know the url?

I have an 04 FX4. I have 305x65r18's on mine. Just put the 2.5 leveling kit on last week. My tires are about 33" and I have a lot of room. I have read that 35's will fit as well. Looking at mine, I have no doubt that 35's would work just fine.

I'm running 35x12.5 with no rubbing yet.

Btw if you try searching next time you'll probably find the answer to your question. This same question gets asked everyday almost. Searching is a easy way to check that and then you'll probably find out more information on the subject than you bargained for in the first place!

As a general rule, you can fit a 35x12.50 using the OEM wheels or 33's with wider aftermarket wheels.
