Need help knowing if taller tire will fit stock rim, Help Please

My truck is a harley davidson edition so it has the 18"x8" wheels rather than the 16's. I am confused on how to choose a taller tire that will fit it. My current tire is a 275/65/18 but I am thinking of going with a 33" tire but how do I know if it will fit my rim, what do I look for? Thanks for all your help

I have been running a 305/70/17 All Terrain tire without a lift or leveling kit. I have no problems. I have seen some guys running 315's or 35x12.50 on the stock Ford 18" rims with only minor scrubbing on the inside fender. Are you going for an all terrain tire or an aggressive mud terrain?

Most 275/70/18's measure between 33.1"-33.6". That is the size Ford puts on it's 18"x8" Superduty wheels.

Good luck
