The biggest tire you can put on this bike is 28mm wide. That's not terrible by any means, but closer to what you'd find on most road bikes 5+ years ago. Based on competitor offerings lately, I'd expect at least up to 32mm support.
I do some light gravel riding on my road bike from time to time, and the roads get rough in certain areas too. I currently like 28mm in the front and 30mm in the back but also want more freedom to explore in the future. Old timers might remind me: this is a race bike, not an endurance or all-road bike. But even a Tarmac SL8 has 32mm tire clearance these days

I can get carbon wheels for additional 700. Now I am not sure what to do. The Felt has better components all around for less. But, boy, it is ugly looking! It looks like a bike you buy at a department store. I like how the F5 looks much better. Any thoughts? I don't race, BTW. Well, other than racing my friends on Saturday morning rides...I am a casual weekend rider. Currently using an older trek madone 5.2 with ultegra components
I heard that Performance bikes come with smaller tire width, Endurance bikes with wider. This AR serries is performance, VR series is Endurance. The other VR bikes which were on sale too coming with Wider Tires.
and where can I find, maximum allowed with?
FWIW, I specifically mentioned people who don't need new wheels. I'm fine with alloy wheels 90% of the time anyway and if I want to use carbon wheels it takes me less than 10 minutes to get the 404's from my TT bike.

But how in the world do you conclude that this looks like a department store bike? I can't even respond to that because your comment makes no sense to me.
Price isn't insane.. it's a carbon fiber frame and electronic shifting.. it's a professional bike marketed towards people who likely ride two hours per day on average, if not four hours per day on average. Spend that much time riding a bike and you are going to want the best possible parts for comfort, durability, reliability. This is also a bike marketed towards people who train and ride competitively, it's not a leisure bike to ride 10 miles on a rail trail twice per month.
If you don't need the lightness and stiffness of a carbon frame, you can save money. If you want to forego the electronic shifting for cables, you can save some money. But even in that case you are still paying $1500-2000 on sale/clearance in today's dollars. I might agree with you that MSRP of $6k is a bit insane, but at $3200 this is actually a solid deal. I'd never pay full price for something like this but if I didn't just spend $2500 on a different bike then I'd be tempted.
And seriously, if you have three vehicles valued at roughly $1000 each, that's not really something to brag about.. you are likely to put $1000 into each of them just to make it roadworthy for another year. If cars are your hobby, that's cool, go find a car forum where your input might actually be constructive.
I heard that Performance bikes come with smaller tire width, Endurance bikes with wider. This AR serries is performance, VR series is Endurance. The other VR bikes which were on sale too coming with Wider Tires.
and where can I find, maximum allowed with?
What separates endurance from performance is more the geometry of the bike overall.. performance tends to have a shorter head tube which means your handlebars are lower and your overall position is more aggressive (comfortable if riding hard not not as comfortable for riding more leisurely.. the endurance puts you in a more upright position). Endurance usually has longer chainstays, a bit more give in the tubing to increase comfort, less aggressive seat tube and head tube angles, possibly a wider saddle.
As a beginner, I'd try to find an endurance model unless you plan to race and ride in a paceline with a group. But I wouldn't focus too much on tire width unless you need a wide width for really bad roads and gravel (in which case, get a gravel bike).
