05 Offset and Backspacing question

Hi folks,

New to the forum and happy owner of a low mile 05 F-150 SCab 4x4. It's bone stock and I have a leveling kit in mind and thinking Nitto Terrain Grapplers on 20"s to start with. My question/concern is with backspacing and offset. What is right for the F150 on that size wheel?

I'd suggest a 20x9 inch wheel with 5 to 6 inches of backspacing and some 305/55-20 (33x12.50) tires.

Thanks for the replies and the welcomes. I love my SCab and I practically stole it off the lot, so I got a little to play with in the way of mods. Thinking of modding my Effieone-fitty has got me thinking about jacking up my 96 Explorer and giving it to my daughter...on second thought, I'll just keep it to myself.

Kinda wierd being a newbie in a subject area I'm a complete artard in.
