Default 18in Rim Question

So here I am again being a newbie. I'm looking into some rims for the truck. I've searched the forum but it's tough get some info when the threads are all over the place so I thought I would start another one. hah. I'm looking at adding a leveling kit and definitely want to keep the 4x4 look with some A/Ts since I do get offroad every once in a while. I was thinking something black with silver accents. Currently, I have the SLT 16s wrapped in 265/70 tread. Can I get some pics of 18s on a 4x4. What would be a good sized tire? Thanks for all your help.

So the 265/60/18 is the stock size? Do you think I could get away with a bit taller tire?

Yup, you can jump up 265/65R 18s which will gain ya an 1 inch and you will more than likely rub a bit, but that's about as tall as you can go without a body lift...

Here in compariosn to others one member said he was running 265/75R 16s which is like 1/10 inch taller than the 265/65R 18s and he said he was only rubbing alittle, and Turbot_bird (Jamies) running 275/55R 20s which is 4/10 inch taller than the 265/65R 18s. So all in all you should be fine
