Wandell, I think I've decided

Wandell,
I think I am going to go with Incubus Recoils and 285/65R18 A/T tires either BFG or Toyo. The specs of the wheels are:

18 x 8.5 +12 offset 5.22" backspacing.

Do you think I will have any rubbing issues with my 2" A/S? Also how much will these wheels stick out compared to stock?

They should fit fine. They will stick out about 1 1/4 inches farther than the OEM wheels.

Wandell,
I know this has been brought up a bunch but what is the OEM specs of the Ford 20s and 18s?

Also what is optimum backspacing and offset for these 04-08 trucks?

The OEM 17's and 18's are 7.5 inches wide with 5.5 inches of bs. I'm not positive, but I believe the OEM 20's are 8.5 inches wide with 6.5 inches of bs.
The most common spec for off road style wheels on the 04-08's seems to be a 9 inch wide wheel with 5 inches of bs, which means the wheel will stick out 2 inches farther than the OEM wheels.
