02 f150 wheels? Help.

Hey all.
I have a 02 4X4 f150 Screw......
It has the FX4 package w/ 17 -inch wheels and Goodyear
LT265/70R17.......

The "factory" rims are kind of dull and I wanted to get some bright chrome ones..... However, I'm VERY new to wheels and have no idea about any of it.
So please excuse my ignorance, but any help would be greatly appreciated:

1.) What size rims can I get and still keep my original tires? They still have a lot of life left to them.

2.) If I go with a set of 18" rims..... What kind of tires can I get.... For example.... And I'm not even sure they makes theses --- but like LT265/70R18? I assume 18" wheels will fit my stock f150...

Well.... any help appreciated --- or pictures of your f150....
Thanks

I bought mine at Discount tire. They are MB Motoring Precise, 17 x 8.5 I think they look good. They are on 285/70/17 BFG AT KO's.

I have the chrome 5-spoke factory wheels. I'll trade you for your FX4 wheels.
