Default Level Kit Tire question

So I want put this Rough Country Level kit on my '06 F150

http://www.roughcountry.com/ford-lev...-kit-570c.html

with the 2.2 performance shocks btw....

will 315/70 R17 Extreme Country Dick Cepek fit on it on stock rims after the 2.5" level?

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes

or is that the max tire size I can use? Like can I go 295/70R17 Nitto's?

thanks

Likely rub the UCA with stock wheels. Somebody with that gen and a level might be able to confirm.

I've got that exact same level, and running 285-65-18 Nittos on stock wheels and full lock both ways they rub slightly on leading edge of lower control arms. So, I would say no, 315s would not work. Besides, 315s would PROBABLY be way too wide to even mount on stock 8" wide wheels.

I've got 295 Nittos on stock and they almost rub on full lock. I can slide a piece of paper between the tire and uca and nothing more

I think it has more to do with Nittos being more "squared" than almost every other tire. On another note, I've got some 33-12.50-18 Nitto Terras coming, to mount on the '15 F-150 chromes I got ahold of.... I'll let ya know how those work out
