Question new to this site with a truck question

I have an 03 f150 4x4 with a skyjacker 6 inch kit wondering what a good choice for tires and rims any sugestions? I was told 13 inch rims with 33 inch wide tires would be a good choice but when I looked at some tires they were marked in greek I could not figure out the sizes written on the tags, any help with this would be much apreciated

16" rim is the smallest you can run on our trucks. 35" tire or 315 is the smallest I would run. You can go to a 37" tire but 35" looks fine.
