Need advice on Wheels and Tires for 2009 F250

Hello All,
I need advice on wheels and tires for my 2009 F250 XL, Oxford White color, 4x4, AT, V10 6.8L, long bed and chrome WTW side steps. It has the OEM 17" wheels and tires and I am wanting to upgrade to better wheels and tires.
Since the truck is Oxford White, would chrome or black wheels look better? The chrome WTW side steps are the only chrome items on the truck. The grill, mirrors and both bumpers are black.
I've thought about staying with 17" diameter wheels but want to go bigger tires without doing a suspention lift.
Also I don't want to lose too much cargo capacity or towing capability.
I have not added fender flares yet but that may be next after the wheels and tires.
All replys are appriciated.
Thanks

I'd add a leveling kit and run some 33's on a 9 or 10 inch wide wheel. You can fit 35x12.50's, but it will be a tight fit.

I have found a set of 2006 F-350 FX4 18" King Ranch OEM wheels for sale on Craigslist.
Will these fit my 2009 F-250 XL 4X4 truck?
Can I use my factory lug nuts on these wheels since the KR center caps cover the lugs?
Did 2006 models include TPMS?
If so, can they be programmed to my truck
Thanks to all replys.

I have found a set of 2005 F-350 18" King Ranch OEM wheels for sale on Craigslist. They are the 8 spoke chrome wheels with Arizona Beige paint on
the center part of each spoke. It includes the 4 center caps and all lug nuts.

Can the beige paint be painted over to black without looking like crap after a few months? If so, can I do that myself or get it done at a paint shop?

Thanks to all replys.
