need help with wheels on f150

I have an 01 king ranch that is green, it will have a 3 inch body lift on it, I need help with tire sizes and rim sizes and widths. Is the inflated diameter how tall the tires is from the ground to the top of the tires while inflated?
Really need opinions and ideas on this before I spend alot of money, the truck is green and gold and im not sure if i should go with black,chrome, or polished wheels.
Pictures would be very helpful

Yes. As for tire size, do you have a 4x4 or 4x2?

Are you planning to level or leave with stock rake?

Dude, really?

To the OP, being 4x4, leveling the truck, and with a 3" body lift you could clear around a 35x12.50 depending on how aggressive the tread is and the actual manufacturers specs on the tire size, on a 10" wide wheel with around 4.5" of backspacing.

Yep, 33x12.50 and 35x12.50's look great with a 3 inch body lift.

I would personally do a 33x12.50 on whatever diameter rim you want. Just put a little elbow grease into that unygr carriage and get some attractive shocks, then paint under carriage. You'll love the look.

I think 33's would look a little small with the amount of lift he's going to have.
