OFF ROAD-Wheel and tire Help! Nitto Terra Grappler

Thanks in advance for any help and opinions ya'll my give me. I drive an 08 f150 2wd crew cab and just ordered a 3" leveling kit with the rear add-a-leaf. I have read and heard that 33" 1250 and 35" 1250 (with minor trimming of the inner finder) will fit under my truck! I want as much rubber as I can get! My thoughts are to go with Nitto Terra Grapplers 325/65/18 which inflated measure 34.88x12.99 on an 18' rim. Is anyone running this tire? I would appreciate any photo's! Most importantly I would like to hear what backspacing and width of rim I should run to best accommodate this set up? I do not mind pushing the wheels out of the wheel wells to help with clearance during turns.

i think the the biggest tire you can fit is a 33" since you are a 2wd

RIght. The info you were given is for 4x4's which are 2 inches taller than your truck. I'd suggest a 8 to 9 inch wide wheel with 5 to 6 inches of backspacing and a 285/65-18 (33x11.50) or a 305/60-18 (33x12.50) tire.
