Default biggest tire on stock 18s

I have a 2014 5.0 4x4 XLT F150 with stock 18s and I am wondering whats the max tire size for stock height and max with front leveling that would SAFELY fit on stock wheels. Thank you Jay

35-12.50 with trimming, 33-12.50 with little to no trimming is what I've been told.

Some people put 35x12.50's on but most tire shops will not allow that on a 7.5 inch wide rim

I just went through this. If you want to keep everything stock, with no trimming and no spacers, the largest tire with no rubbing is a 275/70/18. That converts roughly to 34/10.8/18. I put these on two weeks ago and have no issues.

I will say that if you are moving from stock tires into an LT or all terrain, you are going to notice a big difference in ride. Your truck will ride like a truck and I lost one full L/100km.

Thank you all. Dad came out of a 03 diesel on 35s so as long as the drive isn't worse then that we should be ok. Truck has 3.73s so having a inch or 2 taller shouldn't be much of a problem

Prior to my lift I had a 2" lift with the same tires (295/70r18 Nitto Terras) and had absolutely no rubbing and nothing trimmed. I could go off-road and go lock to lock with no issues.
