Wheel help
That is odd. Those old wheels and mis-sized tires on there.
Thinking someone swapped wheels with the older truck before trading. They got good tires, larger tires and upgraded wheels and took it to the dealer with old tires. The dealer simply put new tires of the same size on the wheels back on there instead of correct tires by door placard. I suspect your odometer is recording high as well.
Even a set of 275/65R18 takeoffs with tires would help with the looks a lot.

That would also explain why my tpms does not work. Funny though it did the first week I had the truck.
Depending on how long these tires have been on the truck, they are covering less distance for the same number of revolutions, fooling the truck into recording more mileage on the odometer. But if the swap was done just before trading in and you haven't had the truck for long, your odometer is more likely to be accurate.
Any OEM wheel from '04 to '20 will fit. If you want to go aftermarket, staying as close to +44mm offset will accomplish what you want. A picture of your yellow door jamb sticker or telling us what it says would help greatly in suggesting new tire sizes to you.

Yes, you can absolutely add larger diameter rims with zero issues. Just has to match the bolt pattern for your model year.
You have your tire shop adjust the sidewall height accordingly to take away the difference of the rim.
Your local tire shop can help you figure out what offset you need. You'll need to let them know if you want the new wheels to fit in the fender similar or if you want them to stick our further. You shouldn't have the wheel pulled in any further than stock, you risk clearance issues with brake lines, etc.
Or you can search "wheel calculator" and learn how to use the calculator to see how offset affects the wheel position. At least enough to grasp the concept then come back to refine your thoughts.

No sense in making Forscan changes now, your initial post was about getting new rims. Once you've picked what size rim you want, we can make suggestions about what size tires would fit best, and then you can make Forscan changes if needed to compensate for the increase in tire diameter.
Wheels and tires? What tire size? If it's 275/65R18, it'll fill the fender a little more and it's just a half-inch taller than the stock size for your truck, so you won't even need to fix the speedometer difference.
