Rim and Tire size

I have a 2002 f150 4wd lariat crew, I'm leveling it out by maxing the torsion bars and was wondering what rim and tire options I had, I want to go with a larger rim and a lower profile tire. Any suggestions ?

In my opinion, a 33x12.50 tire on a 10 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of backspacing looks best. You will have to trim some plastic off the front bumper's lower valance.

Yeah since you want a larger rim I'd go with a 18x10 for the wheels and 33x12.5 for the tires.

I have a 33-12.5-18 with a 5.4 inches of back spacing with +10mm offset and my tires keep inside the fender wells but rubs slightly at full lock. But if your looking for tires and rims that dont stick out a ton id go with a set up close to mine
