7005's with BFG KM2

I've decided to buy the pro comp 7005's but i am tring to decide on 17" or 18". I would like to mount BFG KM2's. I would like it to stick out a little more than my stock 20's. I have an 06 FX4 with stock 20" wheels. I have installed an AS 2.5" leveling kit. What size 7005 and BFG km2 do you think i should get? I am new to this and i am a little confused with all the backspace and offset numbers.

I'd go with 18x9's and 33 inch BFG's. I believe the 7005's are 18x9 with 5 inches of bs which means they will stick out 2 inches farther than your oem wheels.

Thanks for the advice. All i have to do is wait for the old bonus check next month. Do you know where i can offload my stock 20's? I plan on buying through discount tire unless i can find somewhere cheaper.

Be sure to check out rimzonline.com as they seem to have good prices on wheels and tires. Shipping was more than $100 to Texas, but the prices were still less than most others and they have a good selection for our trucks.

Unfortunately, they do not carry Pro Comp wheels, but they have most of the other popular brands.

You aren't very original are ya?

And as for the wheels I would go for the 17's if your looking for something a little cheaper. I've got 18's and they do look better.

If you're concerned about tire price then I'd suggest going with 17s, if not then I would definitely go with the 18s because they look more proportionate to the f150 body size IMO. I love the look of the KM2s and was going to run them, however I needed a tire that would offer a little more tread life while still maintaining an aggresive pattern so I opted for Xtreme A/Ts 305/60/18.
