New Tires/Rims

About 2 months ago I bought a 2008 F150 STX 4x4. I have recently been looking around at possibly getting larger tires and new rims to go with them. I am going to be buying a Black Aries Brush guard and Tail light guards within the next month or so. I wanted to get black rims to remove all of the chrome from the truck to match the new Brush/Tail light guards. If I got new tires I was hoping to get 35/12.50 ATs since I do a lot of city driving. I was wondering what the bolt pattern for my truck was and if the 2" AS Leveling kit and maybe 3" blocks in the back would be enough to fit 35's without any major rubbing problems. Also looking for some nice looking black rims, Maybe the Rockstars, even though it seems tons of people here have them I have enver seen a truck in my city that had them.

Here's a pic of what it looks like right now:



I was looking at these tires:

Also, I have spent the past couple days looking around the forums here and wanted to know about regearing and if I would need to do it and about how much that could cost.

The bolt pattern is 6 on 135, and you should be able to fit 35's with just a 2.5" leveling kit, as long as the new wheels have close to the same backspace a the stock wheels.

Yeah you would have minor rubbing with the 35's but not bad. Like at full tilt. But very minor. They make a 34.8 in all terrrains which should 325/50 And here is some black rims you might like. Also dude look at getting black headlights on ebay for cheap.
.
The three below are at discounttiredirect.com


18'' ($170) 20'' ($206)


20'' ($185)


20'' ($187)


18''($166) 20"($226)

I'd stick with 33's. To fit 35x12.50's with only a leveling kit you are gonna need an 8 inch wide wheel with 5.5 inches of backspacing, which is pretty hard to fine.
