New 18" BFG's & Goodyear Kevlar Tire???

Hello...new poster. Has anyone put the new 18" sizes on their truck? I have a 2006 F150 4x4 with a skyjacker 2.5 leveler. BF has come out with new 18" sizes and was wondering how big can I go with BFG & Goodyear Wranglers w/out rubbing. Local tire company says 33 amd these both measure around 33.7.

Your OEM wheel is 7.5 inches wide, which is probably 1/2 inch narrower than recommended, but they will work. You should be able to fit them using the OEM wheels. You will clear them easily with a 2 or 2.5 inch leveling kit.
