Tire and wheel size confuzion

I know you guy's get this question all the time but I need some specific help. I have a 05 FX4 with a leveling kit on it and currently 18 in wheels. Was looking at 325x60/18 nitto at grapplers but have decided they are not aggressive enough. I guess my question is this...what size and brand should I go with if I stay with the 18's. Another question would be can I get 35x1250/17 under there without rubbing. I don't want a suspention or body lift because I barely fit into the garage as it is now. Would like to put 33x1250/18's but haven't found a good looking tire. Any help would be appreciated.

the answer my friend:

33x12.5R18 Toyo Open Country M/T
click my sig for more pics in the Bozeman gallery- 2.5" autospring only.
if you're going to stay on the stock 18's it is most wise to to stay at 33" or below- 35's start to require a wide (9" +) rim...

Thanks for the reply and pic...truck looks good!!!! I don't believe I will stay with the stock wheels therefore width won't be a problem but will 35's rub with excessive turning and heavy bumps?

yes, with an aftermarket rim+ 35's you're going to have some issues- if you're only on roads, i figure you can do some trimming to relieve the problem- but if you take it off road, rubbing and bumps are going be a pain. (ie, if you want 35's or larger, lift the truck...)

I agree. If you are going with an aftermarket wheel, stick with 33's.
