2010 F150 Fx4 Screw, 2 1/2" leveling kit, what wheels!?

I know other questions similar to this have been asked but I haven't really found a clear answer to what I need. I'm currently lifting my 2010 Saleen F150 Fx4 up and putting a 2 1/2" leveling kit on it. The tires I want are the new Toyo AT II tires in 35x12.5R20. I believe it says they measure 34.5" tall. Now here is the question, what wheels can I use to make this tire and leveling kit work besides the stock gray fx4 wheels? I like those wheels, but the prices people are asking for them lately is a joke for an oem stock wheel. I really like the bmf novakanes, rockstars are okay, but whats the max/min specs I can get away with on back spacing, offset, ect? Any help is appreciated because you guys know how hard it is to find the right wheel! One more question, the 22" Harley wheels from around 07-09 time period, would 35's work on those with this setup? Just looking at all possibilities, even though I just saw the tire prices on 22" wheels.....HOLY!

Current look-

With just a leveling kit the stock wheels may be your best bet to run the 35's. An aftermarket wheel would have to have close to stock specs say 8.5 to 9 inches wide with a 6 inch backspace. As you probably know the stock 20's are 8.5 inches wide with a 6.5 backspace. The stock backspacing causes the tires to be extremely close to the upper control arm. Ideal would be 5.7 to 6 inches of backspacing.

These are 33.2x12.6x20 Terragrapplers on stock 20's. I think I could squeeze 35's on!

I have just a 2.5" leveling kit and I'm running 22x10 Fuel Throttles +20 offset with 33x12.50/r22 Toyo MT's. I can clear 35's easily.
