The most popular wheel specs for the 04-11 F-150's is a 9 inch wide wheel with 4.5 or 5 inches of backspacing.

the ones on my truck now are 20x8.5. going to an 18x9 with mud grapplers. so you think a 5 in backspacing will keep them from rubbing? would like to put 35s but i think its going to have to be 33s

You are right. You will have to go with 33's unless you lift your truck more.
