Default help!! bilstein 5100s and tires

Ok, i need help and some advice on what is the maximum tire size i can run after installing bilstein 5100s on my 2013 f150 XLT 4x4. I have been searching everywhere to find out if its possible to run 35's or maybe go with a tall 34 on 18x9 anthem wheels. I would appreciate any help and pictures if someone has a similar set up.

My 2010 had Bilsteins set to the highest position. I ran Raptor take-offs with no rubbing issues - the wheels were 17" not 18", but I don't think that would make any difference.

Here's my 2010 FX4 with Bilsteins set to max, with 35x12.50r18 KO2's, on 18x9+12 rims. Had to cut front bumper valence, and they still nicked the OEM flares slightly. Had to do a slight modification - cut the stone guard from in behind away so the flare was closer to the fender.

Will a -12 offset cause more rubbing issues?

Yes, -12 will stick them out very far, and make rubbing even worse. If you're stuck on -12, either go 33x12.50, or a narrow 34" (like a 285). But if they're sticking out as far as that, I don't think you want to go narrow....
