Default please help! tire issues!

Alright guys this may be a stupid question but i really need help.I have a 2005 ford f150 super crew FX4. The original tire size is 275-65-18. I am going to upgrade tires soon. i had planned on getting 295-70-18 nitto trails until i came to a problem to where i though is this tire going to fit my rim.. since the width of the tire changed does this mean the nittos will not fit my stock FX4
rim? please help guys this is really important.

Those tires are 34.4x11.8x18 and will fit on the stock wheel's. I hope the truck is leveled.

I'm running 275x70x18 right now and I asked my dad and mechanic about 295x70x18's. My mechanic said with a level, they will fit just fine. That's what he is running on his 08 King Ranch.

Sorry to thread-jack you, but I figured since my topic is similiar to this one, I'd go ahead and post. Could I run 285/65/R18 on my stock rims? I'd be doing a 2.5" level. Its an 06 2WD. Thanks!
