help with fitting tires

I'm new to this site and i've been looking around for answers, but i dont think that i could find exactly what i was looking for. I have a 07 f 150 2wd screw, and i'm about to put a 2.5" level and a 3" body lift. I was wondering if i could fit a 315/70/17 xtreme m/t pro camp on it without any problems, if i can which wheels would i have to buy? and anyone have a cheap source for getting wheels?

Yes, they will fit easily. I'd go with a 9 inch wide wheel with 5 inches of backspacing.

Thanks that helped a lot! I'm just curious, I don't really understand what backspacing is, and do what rims I order control backspacing, or is that something I can ask for during installation

The wheels will state it, it'll either have backspacing listed or the offset. If it's offset you can either look up an online conversion chart for it or post it here and one of us will be able to figure it out.
