I too am Installing a 2.5" or 3" leveling kit with add a leaf rear on my Black 2009 f150 4x4 STX. I am looking a buying Mamba M2's. They come in 17 x 8 w/5.5" B.S. or 18 x 9 w/6" B.S. I would like to run 35x12.5's but will accept 33x12.50's. Which wheel size and tire size will look the best on my truck. I do not want people to tell me my wheels stick out to far. Please help, because I'm doing a internet purchase and the tires will be already mounted when shipped to me. It is hard to send back wheels that have already had tires mount on them!

Offset and Backspace are two different ways of measuring the same thing on a wheel. If you know one, you can calculate the other. For an 8 inch wide wheel with 5.5 inches of backspace the formula for offet is as follows:
8 + 1 = 9 / 2 = 4.5 inch of backspace with 0 offset
4.5 inch of BS is the centerline of an 8 inch wheel. (0 Offset)
5.5 BS - 4.5 BS = +1 inch
25.4 mm = 1 inch, so +25 mm of offset for the wheels you want.
