Ready to Buy - Opinions and concern

*First Post*
I am almost ready to buy and would like any feedback. I have a 2007 5.4 XLT Screw. I have a 2.5 leveling kit on hand but not yet installed. No need for two alignments. Here are the products I'm interested in.

20x9 Ruff Racing R286 Hyper Silver RWD (not a fan of chrome)
http://www.statuswheels.com/wheels/w...=43&brand_id=2

with

LT305/55R-20 Nitto Terra Grappler 121S

I have yet to find out the backspacing and I am still awaiting a response from Status Wheels. I hear I should be looking anywhere between 5-6. I desire about 1 to 1.5 inchs of tire hang out. Let me know. I'll post pleanty of pic's once I have a decision.

Thanks for all the feedback.

A 9 inch wide wheel with 5 inches of backspacing will stick out 2 inches farther than the oem wheels, a 9 inch wide wheel with 6 inches of backspacing will stick out 1 inch farther than the oem wheels. Let us know when you find out the bs.

I believe that is about 5.1 inches of BS, which should work fine.
