17X8.5 and 35s with a leveling kit
Which of these would allow me to run 35s on my truck?
A)Offset: +6
Backside Setting: 5.00
B)Offset: +15
Backside Setting: 5 3/8
C)Offset: -6
Backside Setting: 4.50
I've done some looking around and believe that option B would be my best bet but I want to double check before I order them.
The wheels by the way are American Racing Thug's with Teflon.

Some of you might remember me asking about another set of wheels, XD Spy's Black awhile back. It turns out they won't be coming out for a few months and I really want a set of wheels now, and IMO these will look better with the color scheme of my truck.

I hope these work out better than the XD's that I purchased thinking I would get them in a week or two, later to find out that it would be a couple months.
I actually think the AR looks better than the XD i was going to get, atleast on my truck.

Option B would be the closest but for 35's if you are looking at a 35x12.5-18 you should really give it the lift and look for a wider wheel. If you do that then go with a lower offset like option A and when it sticks out to clear it won't look funny.
The closer to a wheel with a 8" width with 5 1/2 inches of backspacing the less chances of rubbing. I had to find out the hard way.

So is the overall opinion that they will fit, but it will be very tight?
Would the problem be rubbing on the front valance our would the suspension components get in the way?
