need tire help
I am sure this has been asked already, but can't find the answers i need. I have a 2006 f150 lariat scab. It has stock 275/65/18 tires on it. I have a HBS 2.5 leveling kit on it. What is the biggest tire i can put on it with the stock rims without rubbing. Which tire brand and size do you prefer. Thanks for any help.

If you have a 4x4, you can fit up to a 35x12.50 tire using the oem wheels, however they will rub the control arms slightly at full steering lock. If you don't want any rubbing at all, drop down to a 33x12.50-18 or a 285/65-18 (33x11.50). The BFG AT KO is available in a 305/65-18 which is essentially a 34x12.50 tire. You could also fit those.
As for tires, I'd suggest a quality all terrian tire like the BFG AT KO, Nitto Terra Grappler, Toyo AT, Pro Comp Xtreme AT, Mickey THompson ATZ or the **** Cepek Fun Country Radial FC II.
