wheel question

lookin for advice...

I am putting the 2.5" level and 1.5" aal in the truck (2005, Screw, 4wd, 5.4)

I would like to put 305/55/20 - 33x12.5/20 tires on my truck once I put the lifts in.

What type of wheel diameter, offset, backspace should I be looking for if I dont want the wheels to be sticking out too much? 1.5" at most

I was interested in some eagle 064's 20x10, -21mm offset, 4.626 bs
I am I correct in thinking this wheel will stick out quite a bit?
Thanks for the help guys!

That wheel will stick out about 3.5 inches farther than the oem 17 or 18 inch wheels.
I'd suggest a 9 inch wide wheel with 5 to 6 inches of backspacing (5 inch bs would stick out 2 inches farther than oem, 6 would stick out 1 inch farther).

Thanks Wandell...

a couple of things then...

If I get a 9" diameter wheel should I be looking at
275/60/20
or will I be able to use 305/55/20

I have found a wheel! Incubus 518
20x9 12mm 5.5
18x8.5 12 mm 5.25

how far are these wheels going to be sticking out?
what size tire should i select to go with either one?
i was looking at aggressive tires, mc atz, toyo m/t's, proc comp xtreme, bfg a/t and km2, cooper stt, kumhos, nitto terra grapplers, **** cepek ETC

thanks again for your help, you are really saving me
i wish there was a tire shop close by...

Those 20x9's will stick out 1.5 inches farther than stock wheels. The 18x8.5's will stick out 1.25 inches farther than the stockers.
I'd go with 305/60-18's (33x12.50), 325/60-18's (33x13.00), 305/65-18's (34x12.50) or 305/55-20's (33x12.50).
