What Backset Would I Need?

So, I am thinking about forgetting the Chrome Package next time and putting the $1,295 toward some aftermarket wheels. I like the Moto Metal 951's, but after looking at a variety of wheels, I see some have different backsets. I do not intend on installing a leveling kit, and may opt to go only slightly larger than stock with the tires, but if I do go aftermarket wheel, what backset do I need to maintian the basic stock configuration. I am sure the stock wheels will be the five double-spoked 18's, or possibly six spoked optional 20's.

And, how big can I go with the tires? I see a lot of posts regarding this, but most have leveling kits. I do not care to put one on. (On a side note, are the leveling kits expensive and difficult to install?)

Thanks,

Smoke

It just depends on how much you want your wheels to stick out. You will only be able to fit 33 inch tires at stock height. As for the leveling kits, most are around $100 or less. The one piece designs are not that hard to install, if you have the tools.
