Need help with tires and wheels!!!

I have an 06, F-150. I am wanting to put a leveling kit on it but don't really know the best one and would like some info on which would be the best. I am also going to be putting tires and wheels on as well and I need to know if 33 1250's on a 17x10 rim will fit and also if it will rubb or not, the backspacing is going to be between 4.5 to 5.5 (need to know the best) and the off set i believe will be -12, any help will be greatly appreciated.

I'd go with the Autospring kit. It's well made and easy to install. Personally, I'd go with an 18 inch wheel. Ford changed brake caliper design sometime during the 05 model year which is causing fitment problems with some (not all) aftermarket 17 inch wheels. Plus, I think there is a better selection of 18 inch tires. I'd suggest an 18x9 inch wheel with 5 to 6 inches of backspacing (depending on how far you want the wheel/tire to stick out) and a set of 325/60-18 (33x13.00) tires. The wheel you mentioned will stick out 3.5 inches farther than the OEM 17 and 18 inch wheels which are 7.5 inches wide with 5.5 inches of backspacing.

I just did my 06 4x4 Screw. I put on a Top Gun Customz 2.5" leveling kit with Pro Comp Xtreme At's 305/65/17's on 17x 9 pro Comp 1079 wheels with 4.75 backspace. They fit and look great. It depends how much you want the tires to stick out. Mine stick way out but I like that. If not, look at a wheel with a 5.5 or 6" backspace. I dont think you need 10" wheels. It will only cause more possible rubbing over the 9" wheel.
