Opinions on 4.5" backspace wheel with only a level kit

Hello,
I am looking for some opinions. I have a 07 4x4 Screw and the wheels I want come in a 9" wide with a 4.53" backspace or a 8.5" wide with a 5.46" backspace. The truck will be leveled 2.5" in the front and maybe a + 1" block in the rear with 33" Toyo MT's. I have seen the wheels in person in both offsets and I like the 4.53" much better. I have also seen numerous pics on the forum of people with 4.53" backspace wheels and although they look good, I just can't get the feel for how it looks in the real world. So basically I am asking, does that offset look "funny" on a truck that is only leveled, because they stick out too far for how high the truck is. I am trying to avoid the lowrider look. Any and all opinions would be appreciated. Thank you.

That wheel will stick out 2.5 inches farther than your oem whels. An 8.5 with 5.46 inch bs is gonna stick out about an inch farther than the oem wheels.

Thanks Wandell, I am aware how much they stick out. I am just looking for opinions on the way it would actually look.
