2008 xlt with a 4" lift. will stock 17's and 35s fit?

Hey guys. when i bought my truck it had aftermarket 17's on it. i am looking at purchasing a set of the stock 5 spoke chrome rims off a local site to replace my current moto metal's whenever i trade the truck in for a newer f150. my current truck is running a 4" zone lift with 17x9 motometal rims and i think a -12 offset. my question is if, and when i trade this truck in, can i swap out my current rims for these cheap stocker rims? i have 35x12.5x17 mudders. im not sure what the stock offset is, my only worry would be rubbing against the control arms with it being lifted thanks!

Pretty sure the zone doesn't work with factory wheels.

It said right on zone's website that there is no track width change and with a 17x9 wheel you need 4.5bs to fit 35s what is the stock back spacing?

Nope. Track width isn't what affects it, it's the lift spindle. Factory wheels have 6" of backspacing. If it were my truck, I'd just leave them on. They're like $650 wheels new, so it's not worth the cost of buying factory wheels, paying $100 for mount and balance again, then sell those Motos for $500 best case scenario. Plus factory wheels would make the truck look worse and less desirable with factory wheels.
