Default Tire sizes

Hello! I know there are plenty of discussions on here about max tire size on an F150, but my requirements are a bit different than I’m finding. I have a 2017 F150 4x4 lariat, with the factory fender flares, and the factory rims. I really want to keep the factory rims, and plan on only doing 1.5-2” lift on the Fox shocks. What I’m looking for is the max tire size I can do on factory rims with the tires not sticking out the sides. I know here in Texas especially everyone loves their super wide tires that stick out the side. I do not like that look, but also think the stock tires could do with a bit of widening, as well as some height. Nothing crazy on the height of the tires, maybe 33.5”, my main concern is getting a good tire that fits perfectly in the wheel well.

I found the sweet spot was getting 1 1/4” wheel spacers. This brought the tire out to sit flush with the fender. Not the most ideal answer, but it definitely improves the look of the truck.

So rather than buy new tires you just put the spacers on? 1.5", seems like it would sit out a bit more than what you wanted.

Any Pics?

Yea 1.5” would’ve stuck out some, but 1.25” was just right. I went with the Fred Goeske spacers.
