Tire Sizing options?

i have a 2006 5.4 lariat suprecrew 4x2. the only modification is a flowmaster 40 series catback one in dual out exhaust. i am currently running with the stock BFG long trail tires at 265/60/18 i want to but bigger all terrain tires on the same 18 inch rim. i am looking at either BFG all terrains or the new goodyear duratracs. what are my sizing options(biggest tire) that will still fit in my fender well without puting the 2 inch leveling kit on.

I'm sure you could fit a 285/65-18 using the OEM wheels but they would look much better with a leveling kit.

first off i am new to this tire and different truck modifications i am trying to learn as much as i can, i know this is a stupid question but what does OEM stand for? also if i did go with a 2inch level what would look better a BFG all terrain at 285/65/18 or the dura trac at 275/65/18 (they dont make the 285 option)

if you were to do the leveling kit the BFG would look better with the 285

^ Agreed. I have 285 on my 03 but it does rub when i cut it hard and would DEF look better with leveling kit!
