Default Larger tires after Level

Hi guys. I just put a Readylift 2" Level kit on my 2011 Eco scab last week. Looks great, now time to look at a larger tire rather than my stock 275/65/18's. I want to fill in the wheel well a bit more but not overpowering. What size tire should I be looking at for a modest upgrade? Also looking at a possible black matte wheel instead of my OEM chrome wheels. Any suggestions and pics of your trucks with the 2" level and larger tires would be appreciated too. Thanks!

Tons of threads about this. Max is 35x12.50.
Modest would be a 33".

Here is mine with a 2inch readylift and 295/75r18 Terra Grapplers.








Here it is with the same tires and the setup you see in my signature.

Thanks. I really do too. I wanted to be able to keep the stock wheels because I like them and also can't see paying upwards of $1500 for just new wheels. These tires are basically 35/11.5s (34.7/11.7). I put 1.5 boras on them and the stance is great as well without the added weight of 12.5s on there or the cost of new wheels.

I went with 315x75R17 on both my 2010 FX4 and my 2014FX4. The 2010 had Bilstien's set to max (~2.5") and the 2014 has BOSS coilovers set at 2.75". I have had NO rubbing on either truck with this configuration.

Looks great guys! As well as planning on larger tires, I'm going to replace the stock chrome wheels. Was thinking all matte black at first but the more I think and look at other pics, I think a set with matte black and milled look may work better with my pale Adobe as it still has the chrome step bars and bumpers. That way, the milled accents would blend better with the chrome. Much like the pics above. What's your thoughts on the wheels too?

I have a 2.5" level but I even think with a 2" you can clear 35/12.50/20 because mine has 0 rub on anything
