Will 33's fit my ford?

I own a 2004 F150 and i just installed a 2.5'' leveling kit. Does anyone know how big of tires I can put on. I know 31's will fit. But how about 32's or 33's. Any help is much appreciated.

Search around in the photo galleries, there are lot of good pics of trucks with levels and bigger tires. The 33's will fit for sure, and alot of people are even running 35's with just a level and stock rims.

295/70/17 are equivalent to 33's and they fit w/o rubbing issues on a 4x4 with a levling kit.

A 295/70-17 is basically a 34x12.00-17 tire. Several members have fit 285/70-17's and 285/65-18's on 4x2's with only a leveling kit. Both of those tires are essentially 33x11.50's and fit the OEM 7.5 inch wide wheels perfectly.

According to the Nitto web page, their 295/70/17 measure out to 33.19" in diameter and 12.13" in width. This what I was talking about. I am sure the actual tires for different companies actually measure out differently for the same stated size.
