Wheels
#16
I don't think you will have any problem with any of those wheels rubbing with 33's. The more backspacing, the more the wheel is gonna tuck in. Since you want the "deep dished" look you will probably want to go with the wheel with 5.7 or 4.5 inches of bs. Just be aware that a 9 inch wheel with 4.5 inches of bs is gonna stick out about 2.5 inches farther than your oem wheels. Personally, I'd go with 5.7 inches of bs.
As far as "staggered", I think he means the 04-08 F-150's have a wider front track width than the rear. I've never really noticed this on stock trucks, but a lot of full lift kits increase the front track width. A leveling kit isn't gonna make your front track width wider.

If its the wheel, then what can I expect the the tires to stick out farther than stock?

Im trying to achieve this look, no more no less... with a 9 inch wheel -305-55-20 tire

Tire guy says he thinks +35 (6.38 bs). That I will have way to much overhanging with the +18 (5.71 bs) and that im probably going to hit using that backspace. Personally I dont know what to think but I want to get it right.
Been here a couple of times to see I can figure it out http://www.bigcustomwheels.com/rt_specs.jsp
but im getting no where.

Hill2107 has posted some great pics of a 9 inch wide wheel with 5.7 inches of bs and a 12.50 inch (305mm) wide tire so you now know exactly what kind of stance that combo is gonna give you. If you think his tires/wheels stick out too far you need to go with the 9 inch wide wheel with 6.1 inches of bs. If you think his tires/wheels don't stick out far enough, go with the 4.5 inches of bs.

I think part of my problem seeing this is that his tires are 12.5 (305) inches wide.
If I use a tire calculator then the tire calculator is telling me that my 305's are 12inches wide.
Also you had said that "take the diff between stock and my 305s and divide by 2 so (10.8-12.0) = .60 and that the +35 would stick out 3/4 of an inch farther. So I would be at 1-1/4 out from the side wall of my current tire???
Using the tire/wheel calculator they say it will only stick out .5 farther from the fender????
Calculator im using .. http://www.bigcustomwheels.com/rt_specs.jsp
Im getting confused somewhere???
