Need Opinions on Backspacing and Offset

I'm going to order rims right shortly here. I am going with 22" again, but I am not really sure what I should go with for backspacing and offset. I don't mind if they stick out a little bit more then stock, but I don't want to be going around looking like an R/C Car or anything. What do you guys figure is the ideal spacings to run.

My tires will be 305/45R22
Wheels I am guessing will be 9.5" wide
And I will be running a 2"/3" Drop.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Try this link to a really cool tire calculator/comparison tool.You put your stock wheel and tire specs. in the first column, and the specs. of the set-up you want to run and it tells you if it will work.

Thanks. I'm not really sure what the specs are on these stock Harley wheels. I think I am going to run 22" Foose Nitrous wheels. 22x9.5.

My 22x9.5 inch Eagles have 6.7 inches of backspacing. On my Expy the outer edge of my tire wheel is about dead even with the edge of my fender flares. I have some pics in my gallary.

Would this be comparable to my F150? Nice Expy by the way. Whats you offset?

Yeah, the Expy and F-150's use the same wheels. I'm not sure of the offset but it's listed on Eagle's website.
