Default Tires Rubbing

Hey Guys,
Just bought my 2007 F150 Supercrew 5 months ago. It has a 2 inch leveling kit from what i can tell. The only issue i am having is a tire rub. Its nothing major but is noticeable when they tires are cranked to make a tight turn. I have 18 inch rims with 325/65/18R Kumho tires on it. The time has come to get new tires and i was looking at going with the Toyo Open Country 35X12.50 tires. From what i can tell from the online calculator the Toyos are equivalent to about a 318/67/18. Do you think that tire is slim enough to take care of my rubbing problem? Thanks for all the info guys i appreciate it.

Yes its rubbing behind the tire, on the front balance below my chrome bumper, and i am not sure but it looks like it may be rubbing a little bit on the frame on the inside rear part of the tire as well. Do you guys think the 35x12.5 would at least fit a little better than the 325/65/18R?
