Getting New Tires

I have 03 f150 screw with a 3in bodylift and torrsion bars cranked. Currently i have 325/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers. i have after market rims but im not sure how to tell what the backspacing is or anything.

I was woundering, whats the biggest tire i could get under the truck with minimal to no rubbing?

I was thinking about going with Nitto Trail Grapplers this time.

Sorry if there is already a similar post like this i couldnt find one.

Well it took longer than i thought to get the tires from ups and get them installed, but their finally on the truck. I went with 35x12.50x18 nitto trail grapplers no rubbing issues, let me know what you think.

Those look sweet. Nice looking truck. What is your initial impression of the tires? I was considering those as an alternative to the Toyo M/T as well.

Yea they are helo maxx 6 rims. My first impression was wow. If you like the pic of them on nitto website you will really like them in person. so far they perform great and are only a fraction louder than the nitto terra grapplers I had before. I will be making to trip up to west virgina in a few days ill let you guys know how the handle on ice an snow.
