What wheel offset/back space with tire?

on a 2005 FX4 with 2" a.s. leveling kit with 305 60 18 nittos terra grapplers, what would a good wheel offset/back space be. I want them to stick out more then stock, nothing I hate more then sucked in wheels, lol! But I dont want them to rub either, at least no without minor trimming.

I've searched and gotten more confused then anything..

18x9 with a 5 1/2" BS, those will stick out 1 1/2 inches more than stock and you won't look like a roach coming down the highway.

I agree. Or a 18x9 with 5 inches of bs which will stick out 2 inches farther than the OEM wheels.

Ok guys decided on the 7005's because they are on sale now, lol!!

They are listed with a back space of 0mm. What does that equal in inches? I know stupid question but I'm looking to go either 5 or 5.5" bs where does the 0mm fall in that catagory??

also they are listed 18x9 6x135" hub centric.. is this right for my truck?

The backspacing is 5 inches, the 0mm is the offset. And yes, you need the 18x9's with the 6x135mm bolt pattern.

Post some pictures when you get them on. I have been looking at the 7005's too and am interested to see what they look like on your truck with that backspacing. thanks.
