Diamo Wheels...body lift...etc...

Hey all....newbie here so go easy on me. I have a few questions that I am sure you may or may not have seen already. Anyway I have a 2004 Ford F-150 Supercrew that I am wanting to do a few things to. The things I KNOW that I want to do is put my 2.5" leveling kit in the front end and the go with a 3" PA body and stuff some 35 x 12.50 x 17's under it. The next BIG question I have is about wheels. I wanted to get the New Moto Metal 955's...but they are not being made to fit my truck...so I found a set of Diamo 17 Karat's that MIGHT?? fit my truck. Here are the specs on the wheels...17x10, 6 on 135 / Bolt Pattern; Back Spacing = 5.03 in.; Offset = -12 mm.; Hub Bore = 87.1; Finish = Chrome. With these wheels being 17x10...will I be able to turn them without rubbing? How far out will they stick...I wouldn't mind something a little wider than my fenders....but nothing more than say 1" to 1.5".......thanks for any and all help....and is anyone else running the Diamo 17 Karat? Any pics??

Those wheels will stick out 3" more than stock. Try to find a 9" wheel with 5.5" backspacing and you'll get your 1.5".

I agree. It seems that 9 inch wide wheels with 5 inches of bacspacing are more common. Moto Metal and KMC make several wheels with different backspacing choices for your truck.
