new tires help!

ok, so i bought a 2.5" leveling kit for my 1998 f150 4x4. However, i found that i can lift my truck using the stock torsion keys, therefore, i am sending the leveling kit back and putting that money towards new tires. So my question is, what tire size would look the best on my truck? I think im gonna go with either Mickey Thompson ATZ's or Nitto Terra Grapplers. I really want to fill up the wheel well and make it look really aggressive. Will 285-70-17's look small? I wanted something a little bigger... any advice would help tremendously!

You can fit up to a 315/70-17 using the oem wheels but they are gonna rub the frame slightly at full steering lock. If you are not gonna lift the truck, I would go with something a little smaller like a 305/65-17 (33x12.50), 295/70-17 (34x12.00) or a 285/70-17 (33x11.50). Personally, I'd go with some aftermarket wheels and 33's.
