Default Need new tire and rims help

Hi. I have a 2004 FX4 with 285/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers. I have a 2.5" leveling kit installed. I want to get bigger tires soon. The problem is i dont know up to what size can i go to without the tires rubbing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have heard you can go up to 35" tires. I have 325/60/18 terra grapplers. I have no problem with any rubbing.

I was gonna go with the Moto Metals but I decided on the XD's instead. Plus the price I couldn't pass up.
