Will 285/70r18 bfg mud terrains fit my 2012 f150 xlt supercrew?

I bought my 2012 F150 XLT Supercrew 4x4 with crappy stock Goodyear Wrangler all-seasons (275/65R18) and would like to upgrade to a beefier tire once they wear out (shouldn't take long). I found 285/70R18 BFG Mud Terrains on tire rack (weird size I know) and was wondering if you guys think they would rub without a leveling kit or lift. Truck's got the Off-road package so the suspension sits up a little higher than ones without it anyway and with the current tires it looks like theres a little more room in the fender wells for improvement. Ideas? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSe...70&diameter=18

I would just got ahead and get a 1.5 or 2 inch level not only to get rid of the rake but to make sure there would be no rubbing.

I wouldn't be surprised if they rub a little at full lock. I put 275x70x18 Cooper ST Maxx on my '09. The large lugs wore a little when new at full lock to the left.

Kodi, is yours the supercrew with the off-road package? Just looking at it with the naked eye the only concern I would have would be from the extra width when turning the wheel. I'll probably end up going with a 2" leveling kit just to be on the safe side. I just don't like the look of the stance with a lot of space between the tire and fender well. Anyone have a recommendation on a 2" leveling kit?
