I have aout 58k miles on my 2013 ford f150 fx4, and am planning on installing a billstein 5100 on all 4 corners, with new tires.

the current wheels/tires on it are 275/65r18; and I plan on keeping my stock rims

the guy from the shop told me over the phone that 285/65r18 and 295/70r18 should work fine with that level with no rub. I have also seen other users on here with similar set-up on 275/70r18 and 285/75r18.

I do not know how each tire would look on my set up, was wondering if anyone could post pictures of a similar set up indicating what size tire you have. I would appreciate it.

I am not looking for the tire to look too fat, and would like for it to stick out a little. most of my driving is on the road, so looking for good road tire with a rugged look.

Thanks in advance, Y'all

Probably the 285/65 is going to be your best option. The 295 is really too wide for a 7.5" wheel. The 285/75 is a tall tire and will rub without a 2" level in the front. Also because of it's diameter (and weight) the 285/75 is going to cause a noticeble hit in power ang mpg. A 285/70/18 would be just right, but thats a rare size and most makers don't offer it. I was in the same situation a few months ago, and ended up getting some new 1st gen Raptor wheels and went to a 285/75/17. Its readily available and specs out at 11.5 x 33.75

Right before you responded, I purchased a 2.25 inch bilstein 5100 shock front level with 295/70r18 Toyo at2 tires. Guy said it won't rub. I want them to stick out s little, so hopefully looks nice

I think you'll be fine, I don't think those will rub. With the factory rim you'll want to keep the tire pressure towards the lower end of the spectrum.
