Default New wheel questions

Hi, I am buying a new set of wheels for my 1999 f150. I want the wheels to give it a more aggressive look, one of the things I'm looking for is to space out the stance of the truck. Does the size of the BACKSPACING of the wheel measure this. Also i have not done suspension mods the the truck yet. I have a 3 inch leveling kit, but i have not yet installed it. WHAT SIZE WHEELS can i fit on a 1999 f150 with out rubbing? WHAT SIZE TIRES? its 4x4 off road package (not FX4) it has a good amount of stock clearance. Thanks for the help guys

35's depending on backspacing/ width of the rim is the biggest you can fit.

Iv got a 01 f150 with 35s with 18in rims and there on a medium off set. So you might wanna try that. And iv got no rubbbing. I did have to trim my bottom front plastic part a bit other than that its good.

Well I just found out that if I turn to much to the right or left. It rubs. So with 2.5 inches of lift. You could fit 35s but Id go with a medium off set on rims. And your gonna have a bit more rubbing unless you trim it.
