Wheel/size questions

I will need to replace tire soon and figured i would also get some new wheels. I have been looking at VTec Raptor 372. I have bfg 265/70/17 on stock wheel now 05 f150 ext cab 4x4. I was looking to go up to around 33" tire to fill up the wheel well a bit more. I have a 2.5" leveling kit on front. I Would like wheels to sit flush or just passed the fender and not way out. Listed is specs for wheels and didn't know which would be best or correct offset and back spacing to achieve what im looking for. Looking for matte black wheel if you know of any others, Any input would be helpfull.

vtec raptor 372
17x8 b/s 5.43 offset +25
17x9 b/s 6 offset +25
17x9 b/s 4.75 offset -6

An 8 inch wheel with 5.43 inches of BS will stick out about 1/2 inch farther than your OEM wheels.
A 9 with 6 inches of BS will stick out an inch farther than your OEM wheels
A 9 with 4.75 inches of BS will stick out about 2 1/4 inches farther than your OEM wheels.
A three wheels will fit fine with a 33 inch tall tire like a 285/70-17 (33x11.50) or a 305/65-17 (33x12.50).

Stick with the b/s of 5.43 and the 25+ offset. This will give you the best fit and not allow it to stick out as far.
