9.5" wide wheels on '06 F150 FX4?

I'm planning on putting a set of 22x9.5" wheels on an '06 FX4, but I have a concern: The current wheels on it are 20x8.5", and I have no idea what happens when I put in a set of wider rims (which are from Black Rhino, by the way) on it.

What do I have to look out for? Are the wheels going to stick out of the truck? Is it going to catch on the fenders? Is it going to be wider on the inside to the point that the inner side of the rims will catch on the panels? (Sorry for all these questions. I'm a newbie at wheels and tires. Everything else about a car, I would have at least a small amount of knowledge about.)

Just for those who are interested, here's a link to Black Rhino's site with the rims that I am planning to get: http://www.blackrhinowheels.com/truc...-rims-PEAK.php

Again, my apologies for the stupid questions. Again, I'm a newbie, and this is my first post.


EDIT: Also, what tires would you recommend for these rims? I do know about the bolt pattern, but that's about it.

EDIT 2: The truck is virtually BONE STOCK. No lift kits, no custom suspension, no custom bodywork, no nothing. I am planning to lower the back by 2" to level it, however.

If the offset on the rims are the same it will stick out slightly more but as long as you dont go to wide on the tire it will be fine. If you dont have a lift or anything then i would go with a 0 offset. And that way you could go with a 32x10.5 and should be fine. I know someone with 9in wide rims and have a -6mm offset and a leveling kit with 33x11.5 and is fine.

Looks like they are a +30 offset according to the link you provided so you will be good to go. Won't stick out much at all and can fit 305/45/22 which will fit and look great without rubbing. To lower the rear you can remove stock rear block (free) or do a shackle kit which is cheap.
