Wheel and tires combo questions?

I have a 2006 F-150 FX4. I havet the factory 20's but want to step up to a different wheel size. The truck only has a 2.5" leveling kit up front and an added leaf spring out back. What would be the best wheel and tire size to go with? I have been looking at XD monsters, moto metal 951's in black and chrome. I would like the tires to stick out of the wheel well just a bit, not to much, but I do not want to have any rubbing issues. WHat do you guys think?

20x9 or 20x10?
What tire size, can i go bigger than 33x12.5x20 without rubbing?

Personally, I think the best looking combo is a 9 inch wide wheel with 5 to 6 inches of backspacing and 33 inch tires. I prefer 18's but 20's look great also. I wouldn't go larger than a 33x13.50 tire.

Not exactly tire related but I planned to put a very similar setup on my truck and would like to know how much did the extra spring raise the rear ? Thanks

You can fit a 35x12.50 if you use an 8 inch wide wheel with 5.5 inches of backspacing.
