Question 2 inch leveling kit/2wd

Will a 285/65-18 tire clear with a 2 inch leveling kit,I am ordering 4 tires and a autospring or daystar kit online,something I never did before,usually I will go to a tire shop to see them.
With a 2 1/2 kit how much larger can I go.
THANK'S JOE

Check with the manufacturer but it shouldn't be an issue. We developed our 2WD quickLIFT LOADED around a 33/12.50/R20 .

They cleared on mine easily. No rubbing at all with a 18x9 +18 offset wheel.

I have a 2006 Ford F150 STX I put on a 2.5 level kit and 2 inch wheel spacers, I have noticed a rubbing noise while in reverse and on bumpy roads. Wondering what is causing this. I have aftermarket wheels 20 inch by 10 inch wide. wasn't rubbing before level and spacers now it is?

A 10" wide wheel with 2" wheel spacers, both of those together are your problem. You've pushed them too far out.

I'd ditch the spacers first and go from there.

I got 20x9 with 295/50. Clears no problem. No rubbing. Of course it all depends on your backspacing.

I put the 2' Daystar lift and bought a set of Michlins LTX 285/65/18 and had room to spare.
thanks everyone for the help
