Leveling my truck, rims and tires question. Please help!

Newer to the forum here, just bought an 05 F150 lariat 4x2 and just ordered a leveling kit. 2.5in for the front, 2in in the back. wanting to order the pro comp series 05 17x9 inch rims with an offset of -6. Will my truck clear 33x12.5 without rubbing on anything? Don't want to order the stuff and it not fit. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help. Appreciate it much

If you want the truck to sit level, you won't need the rear 2" for the back. That'll raise the whole truck and the front end will be only 1/2" higher than before. You'll still be 2" taller in the rear. Assuming I understood correctly. Not sure about the tires, someone else can chime in about that.

I wanted a mini lift rather then leveling it, still wanted to have rake in the back for when towing. Also wanted to be able to clear 33's without being stuffed and rubbing but since the tires are 12.5 inches wide, I need a negative offset rim. Just not sure how much so they don't rub. Someone please chime in.
