Looking for tires on stock rims

Hello,
I have a company vehicle and I need to get new tires. I can choose what I what to a point. I have a 2005 F-150 XLT Supercab 2 wheel drive. Currently the tires are 235/70/R17. What size can I go to without trouble. I drive a lot on the road but I want a little larger tires since I the current tires are rather small looking.

Suggestions? I am currently looking at the Hankook Dynapro RF08 235/75/R17 - ??
Thanks

You can go up to a 285/70-17. I'd go with at least a 265/70-17 tire if you want an off road look.

Good choices would be the Nitto Terra Grappler, Toyo AT, BFG AT KO, Bridgestone Dueler AT, Pro Comp Xtreme AT, **** Cepek Radial FC II, or Mickey Thompson ATZ.
