question about backspacing?

I am new to the site and just purchased a 09 f150 supercrew 4x4. i traded in my old truck and kept my new tires that i had just purchased for it. they are bfg mud terrain km2 in a 35 x12.5 x17. So I would like to purchase some aftermarket 17s. I want completely black. What backspacing should I stay with in order to fit with minimum rubbing. I believe around a 5.71 with a 18 offspace but not sure. I am having a leveling kit installed tomorrow. It is really hard to find that size in a 17.
I would prefer 20s but after you spent 1300 on tires its hard to sell them for nothing.

I spoke with 4 wheel parts and they said if I go with a 5.71 backspacing then the 35s will work. so I just purchased matte black addict. I will have the leveling kit installed tomorrow along with the wheels and tires, very anxious to see it.

I just purchased a 2009 black f 150 4x4. black on black but i have chrome bumpers.

BS is only part of the equation. How wide are the wheels? How much lift do you have? If they are wider than 8 inches (8.5 may work) and you only have a leveling kit, you will probably have serious rubbing issues.

I picked up my 17x8's with +18 offset from rimzoneonline.com for about $600 and you get free shipping. There are not many aftermarket wheels that will fit the f150's with 35's and a leveling kit but there are some out there you just need to do alot of searching to find what will work.

The only rubbing so far is in reverse turned at full lock.
