Default Whats the biggest tire w/out lifting the truck?

I Have a 2011 Ford F150 FX4 Super Crew. I'm wanting to put the largest tire possible w/out lifting the truck. I'm wanting to put 305/55/20 on stock Ford 20" rims. The tires I'm mostly sold on are the Trail Grappler M/T. Any thoughts or suggestions on tire size or the style of tires that I'm leaning towards?

Not sure maybe 295..I have the FX2, and I think the biggest I could go without a lift and aggressive tread is 275, and that's your stock tire size. Mine is 265

I was running 285/65/18 32.8" Nitto trail Grapplers on my 4x4 with no leveling/lift kit and they were fine.

You can fit a 33" tire stock on a 4x4 with stock wheels.

PawPaw ran 305/55/20's (Terra Grapplers)on stock rims without a leveling kit or any rubbing. He does have a leveling kit now.
I don't know if the bigger sidelugs of the Trail Grapplers would cause any rubbing without a leveling kit. Probably not but worst case scenario, you may have to trim a little plastic.

All these trucks have aftermarket wheels with lower offset though. What doesn't rub on theirs may rub on stock.
