Default Tire help!

So i have a 04 f150 fx4 and just put on a 2.5 inch HBS leveling kit. I am running stock rims and i'm wanting to replace the 265x65x18 BFG A/T with 295x70x18 Nitto Trail Grapplers. My question is will i be okay with the tire width and rim width? will my tire stick outside the fender like i want it to? Thank you

Same truck, same mod. Just ordered 295/70-17 Treadwright Guard Dogs after all the rave reviews I've seen and heard..

I have an 06 screw, 2.5 HBS, 1.5" long leaf Pro Comp AAL, with 295/70/18 trail grapps on stock wheels. They fit good, no rubbing, and they stick out about 1 inch. I like them, but if I did it again, I would get 33's because it feels a little under geared. I don't have a programmer yet, though.

Should be fine. HBS claims that they test with 33s but a lot of their customers run 35s on a 2.5" kit with no problems. As far as width, Idk yet.
