Installed level kit today..now need the tires

I just finished installing my AS 2.5" level kit. I bought a set of FX2 18" rims and tires back in October. Now with the lift....what is a good size, biggest tires I can run with the 2.5 level and stock back? I plan on keeping the 18's for now, so something i can run with those rims..

Here is my rims..



I am not very knowledgable about the size and the clearance and all that. Any suggestions would be cool..

Also..any pics of these rims with the good tires with a 2.5 level kit on??

thanks guys...

Looks like you have a 4x2....I would think your best best for tires would be a 285/65R18.

Yes, you should be able to fit a 305/60-18 (33x12.50).

I have the 305/65/18 BFGoodrich All-Terrain on 18 FX4 wheels with a 2" AS level. I have no rubbing issues. Here is a picture if it helps any. Sorry, it's not the best picture.

you can fit a 35, but they will rub slightly as full lock. My dad has an 05 F150 with 2.5" AS running 285-75-18 toyo A/Ts on on stock FX4 rims.

Thanks.

I had considered trying to squeeze some 35x12.50 BFG KM2s on there, but decided to go with a more all purpose tire in a slightly smaller size. I haven't had any rubbing, but it fills up the wheel wells.

According to BFG, the tires are 33.7" tall, and 12.2" wide.
