new tires and wheels

I just got my truck leveled . And now im looking at getting 305's or 285's toyo m/t's and some moto metal 951. I dont know much about all the offset and backspacing so i was wondering your guys opinions on those and which tires you think i should go with. They will be goin on a black FX4. Also if anybody has that setup on a truck it would be appreciated to see some pictures of the different offsets.

I'd suggest a 9 inch wide wheel with 5 to 6 inches of backspacing and some 33 inch tall tires.

That's the offset, not the bs. If you go with an 18x9 with at least 5 inches of bs you should be fine. I believe the Moto Metals are offered with 5.7 inches of bs which would be just about perfect.

You may have some slight rubbing issues with that size tire. Id go with the 18mm offset over the 30mm.

Does Toyo even offer that size? I thought the BFG AT KOs was the only tire in that size.
