Stock Raptor tires are 315x70x17 BFG's which are close to a 35x12.5x17 and fit on the Raptor wheels great. A 33x12.5 would fit easily. Don't know if your truck is a 4x4 and leveled or not...a 33" tire will fit on a 4x4 at stock height without rubbing.

im in the process of lifting the front by 3 and the back by the right amount to level the back out
just feel like time to put something tiny but bigger on it lol

Yes..the Raptor wheel specs are ideal to run 35's on a leveled 4x4. The BFG KO2's in a 315x70x17 would work great. You can also use a 305x70x17..a 295x70x17 or a 285x70x17 on those wheels and still look great. I ran the 315x70x17 BFG's on my leveled '04 Lariat with no problems using the right wheel specs.

I have looked into the Raptor rims 17x8.5 +34 mm offset and then at my rims 18x8.5 +44mm offset. The 315/70R17 KO2 and 35x12.5R18 are almost identical dimensions. I am leaning toward keeping factor rims and just up grading tires to the 35/12.5R18. Only reserve I have is the difference in offset and will 10mm make a difference. The Raptor rim sets out a little closer to the wheel well opening due to the 10mm difference.

It will make 10mm difference. Raptor rims are different so they can have wider tires. There's probably space, Ford OE doesn't cut it super close like DIY does. We have a thread pinned at the top where people have posted hundreds of install specs/choices.
