Tire Sizing Help

I have an 07 F-150 XLT all stock. Stock tire size is 235-70-17. I believe the rim with is 7.5. I would like to go to a 285-70-17 Nitto Terra Grap. or Toyo Open Country AT. I will not be putting a leveling kit. Any known problems going with a 33" tire with a stock ride height. I'm looking for some ideas, pics would be great.

-Thanks

If you have a 4x2, the 285's will fit with a leveling kit and the OEM wheels. If you have a 4x4, they will fit easily with or without a leveling kit.

I'd recommend the 2 or 2.5 inch Autospring kit.

I'd add a 2.5 inch Autospring leveling kit. You should be able to squeeze a 285/65-18 (33x11.50) with the right backspacing and wheel width. I'd try to stay with an 18x8 or 18x8.5 and close to the OEM backspacing of 5.5 inches.
