Will this wheel work ?

Hey guys I am looking at getting a new set of wheels for my 05 Supercab F150 and I found some I like @ wheelsforless.com but I am not sure they will work here are the specs,

Product ID : EA1864-7936 Catalog Manufacturer
RWD Custom Alloy Wheels Eagle Alloys
1864 17x9 6/135 '04-Up Ford Special Price
Eagle Alloy 1864 polished finish 1-piece alloy. 4 5/8" backspace

Is this the right backspace that I need so the wheels dont stick out past the side of my truck and also what is the biggest tire I could run on this rim ? I dont have any type of lift kit so I am not sure what the biggest tire would be...Thanks in advance for all of the replies

Ford changed to a larger brake caliper sometime during the 05 model year. This is causing fitment problems with SOME aftermarket 17 inch wheels. If you get them, be sure to check fitment before you start mounting and balancing tires. Your OEM wheels are 7.5 inches wide with 5 1/2 inches of backspacing. So a 9 inch wheel with 5 inches of backspacing is gonna stick out 2 inches farther. A 9 inch wide wheel with 4 5/8 inches of backspacing is gonna stick out approximately 2 1/2 inches farther than the OEM wheel. I think you could fit 33's (285/70-17 or 33x12.50's) on either wheel.

Maybe someone with that combo can post a pic. Otherwise you will just have to look at your truck and try to visualize it. I've seen a couple with that backspacing and wouldn't want the wheels to stick out any farther personally.
