Default Biggest Tires I can put on 08 4x4 F150 with 2" Leveling Kit

Right now the stock ones are 275/55/20R. Im looking at putting 33/12.50/16.5R BFG All Terrains and i was wondering if they would rub, and if not what the biggest i could go without rubbing is.

depends on the wheel specs, but will 16.5's clear everything on an 08?

Those size wheels won't fit, they must be atleast 17"s to fit over these calipers. On stock wheels you can run 35X12.5 but on aftermarket one's it depends on the wheel specs.

I just put 305/65/18 with stock rims with no issues. 2004 FX4. it depends on the spacing on your rims.

i want a 325/65/18 with the hbs 2.5" level kit on an 08fx4
what kind of backspacing would i need to get minimal rubbing, and how much trimming would be necessary to make sure theres minimal rub at full lock

I see everyone suggest the 305/65/18. I know they will fit, on a stock rim, but what about the power loss?
