22"s on fx4?

This is my first post so hopefully the pics work. Ok so this is my 04 FX4. I've been searching for 3 days and can not figure out the right search so now im asking. I want to get 22's and im still confused with offset. I've been looking and found a couple of sets im interested in on ebay. The first set is 22 x 8.5 with +15 offset

and the second set is 22x9.5 with +35 offset.

Which set will look and fit better? I'm also thinking about lowering the truck eventually. Maybe a 2/3 or more. So also any suggestion on tire sizes would also be appreciated. Thanks

What backspacing does that work out to be? I'd go with a 9.5 inch wide wheel with 6.5 to 7 inches of backspacing and some 305/45-22's.

I've seen 305/40-22's on a 4x2 with a 2/4 drop so I think you would be fine since you have a 4x4.

do you have a front level on the truck? if so why not get some 35s on those 22's they would look good and could fit possibly a few members on the forum here are running that set up

You would have to get the +15 offset to fit 35's without rubbing. And you're looking at around $400/tire for A/T's and $500/tire for M/T's.

I do have a as 2.5 level but im thnking about taking it out along with the factory blocks in the rear. and i eventually want to lower truck more because right now im too tempted to go out in the woods and i cant afford a new paint job. plus i travel a lot of miles in the summer. I kind of rushed into buying the bfg's because i saw them on here and how good they looked. lol
