Hey all, new to these forums. I have a 2011 f150 lariat. My truck currently has 265/65r/18 tires right now and I'm wanting to get new tires and rims soon. I want some aggressive looking tires and some black rims to fit them. My question is does anyone have any recommendations for this? I believe the stock tire size for my truck is 275 65r 18 from looking at that label on the inside of my door. My truck isn't lifted either but I'd like to know if those are the biggest tires I could get without them rubbing.
I have 275/70R18's on my stock rims. Seems pretty popular way to go on stock setup, no lift. No rubbing. That equates to a 33" instead of 32" for the 275/65R18's.

Now is that the biggest tires I could go though? I know that those are stock for my truck but wasn't sure if I could go any bigger. I'm looking to get new black rims and new tires soon
To be honest with you, I don't know if I want to lift it yet or not. I'm a complete beginner with all of this stuff. I'm trying not to spend a boat load on tires and rims as it is. As for the style of tires, I do like the aggressive look of off road tires.
I'd suggest a leveling "puck" lift, then go with 35x12.5's on 20x9 wheels. You'll likely have to trim plastic, but shouldn't be any metal with it. To clarify, I ran 35x12.5 Nitto Trail Grapplers, 20x9 Fuel Dunes, and 1.5" wheel spacers on my '07. Cleared after cutting some plastic, and shaving some metal in the fender well, so without the 1.5" spacers it should just be plastic.
This is my old setup on the day I traded it in.
Different wheels (Stock 20x8.5 +44) with 35x12.5 Federal Couragia MT's for contrast with 1.5" wheel spacers.
