Default Tire and Rim and Size? Help Plz.

I have an 05 2wd F150 and I recently just raised the front end 3.5" and the back end an another 1.5". I look kind of goofy with the stock tires on there needless to say. I was thinking about getting some 17in wheels with 4.5 backspacing and -12mm offset and then running some 295/70s. My question is would they fit and if they would could yall post some pics please? Oh and I'm not set in stone on the 17s and 295s I'm still open for suggestion on what will make my truck look good.

I have a 2005 F150 STX Flareside 2WD The front was leveled out at 2.5 and the back wasn't touched, the tires are Hankook Dynapro ATM 325/60R18, the rims are 18 X9 6-135.00 25

I don't have issues with rubbing and with yours being higher I would expect the same.

The raptor uses 315/70R17 and I'm sure it's just about as high as your truck is.

I have 35x12.50r17's with 18mm offset. There's a pic in my photo album of the rim info, got them from Discount Tire. I don't have any rubbing issues, no trimming either. So if you went with a similar spec wheel and a smaller tire you shouldn't have any problems. I have Boss coilovers and I think I'm only around 2 3/4" lift up front.

OK, and I noticed that both of yalls trucks are STX should that make a difference? I also think I found what I may get, a 295/65r18. Saw it on a truck today in person and I really liked it.

As far as I know the trim level shouldn't matter. (XL XLT STX ect...)
