Question Biggest 18" tire w/ a leveling kit

Looking to see what the biggest tire you can fit with just a leveling kit on a 2wd truck????

I am running 305/65R18 with a 18x9 wheel (almost like factory offset)....

That's pretty big for a 4x2. Any pics?

I'd have to say the 305 ought to the max size and that may be close to rubbing on a 4x2. Almost a 34" tire.

I'll throw up some pictures tonight. I'm running the BFG AT's 305/65/18 on stock 18's and don't have any rubbing.

Mine rubbed a little on my valence when I first got them, but a little trimming and NO more problems...

I think I am going to go to a 275/70R18, I saw a truck with this size and it looks a TON better because you have more fender gap which I like...

Is there anything in between these two sizes...

I wish they made a 285/75R18, that would be the ultimate...

I have an FX4, would I be able to fit a 305/65R18 with a 18x9 wheel on mine with or without a leveling kit? Would I even be able to bump it up to a 315 or 325 with only a leveling kit?

325/60/18 and only a level kit. I like the look, nice wide stance, but not too wide.....

I really like the look of those tires and wheel combo. Man it's so tough trying to decide what to go with, I initially wanted 325/60/18 but now I'm debating if I want that size tire with 20's instead of 18's. Geez, I hate making these kind of decisions.

Hey ChumFX4, how tall are the tires? Are they 33's or 35's?
