Default Custom Rim newb

I have a stock 2007 super crew F-150, and I want to add some rims just to make it look nice. The factory rims are stale and I need to chew up some wheel well space. I have already decided on a slightly bigger tire (265 70r17 from the stock 255 65r17). My concern is the offset of the new rim. Its a 17x8 with a +25 offset. So its 0.5" wider and a 21mm offset difference from the stocks I have on there. Can anyone offer me some advice about this. Will the offset kick the wheel out too far? I feel like it would sit nicely, just looking for some feedback or suggestions.

Thanks for the link. I really just want to know if the difference between the +44 to the +25 is going to make a huge difference in the performance or functionality of the turning. Perhaps someone has made a switch similar and knows. I like the idea of the wheels sitting out a little further than the fender. I just dont want to shoot first and ask questions later. I bought the truck 2nd hand, so I dont know for sure that it has been lifted or leveled, but it certainly looks like it has been.
