Will rubbing occur on my new sets of rims & tires?

I have a 2006 Ford f150 Lariat and I just bought 18" Monster Xd rims and I am wondering if I got 295/70/18 Nitto Trail Grappler tires would cause rubbing? I also have a 2" front leveling kit on it. Just curious before I buy the tires.

Thanks.

Scratch that, your only 2wd and that is a 35" tall tire it's not gonna happen.

Agreed, the size is to large for your truck. its a 34.5" tire 11.7" wide. Your truck can fit a max of 33" tall tire with a level on it.

Yes it's 33.7" tall. You might be able to fit that. Idk if that size even exists though. Next best bet is 275/70/18

I just want the biggest size tires possible on my 18" rims. So what's the biggest I can go?

That's tough, some people say you can fit 33x12.50R18 but that is the max and that's only with stock wheels.

You should definitely be able to fit 275/70R18 on stock wheels with a 2" leveling kit though if you have the right offset and width on the wheels.
