Default Help with tires

I have purchased a 2007 F150 and plan on installing a leveling kit on the front. I have ordered a set of 18x9 wheels from Discount Tire. I'm going with the machined grey wheel on a black truck. Problem is I can't decide on tires. I really like the Cooper LTZ but they only come in 285 60 18 and I'm worried they will look small. I can also get the Nitto Terra Grappler in a 285 65 18. Any thoughts on these two options and do you have pictures you can share. This is my first post so go easy!!! lol

They make cooper ltz's in LT 275/70R18. Its 33 in tall 11 wide. Would look better than a 285/60 In my opinion. I prefer taller tires. The 285/65 would look really nice. You can find alot of brands with that size. Personally I would get the Nitto Terra Graps or Trail Graps. Most likely the latter. I love those Trail Graps. Look so nice in person.

A 285x65x18 Nitto or BFG AT would work great, BFG also makes a 305x65x18 but that's close to 34 inches tall.
