Default help with rims

Hello everyone i guess i am new here and I am in need of help, Like good serious help. I have been wracking my brain for the last two weeks straight trying to get this wheel crap settled. I have a 2003 F150 Supercrew that is getting a 3" body lift as soon as i can book the company shop. The Tires will be here next week 315/70/17 Kumho road venture KL71. There is no way in hell they will go on the stock rim. So here is the rub of it all. with this size of tire the rim must be moved out of the fender well away from the truck by 1 inch. The stock rim spec is 5x135 bolt 17x7.5 with a 5 inch back spacing and +14 offset.
I figure I need a rim with a 4 inch back space, now with that all said can anyone help me find a rim that will fit my truck

Those tires will fit on the stock rims.

P.S. I hate you for buying those tires, I want that exact size so bad! They are getting better reviews than the Toyo's and they are cheaper!

Ya they fit but barely if you saw them mounted you would know why I need new wheels. The shop guy mounted the display tire and bla they fit like a mushroom. plus they are very close to the upper balljoint. do you know anyone running this tire or size on a stock rim, or on any aftermarket rim.

There are tons of people with at 12.5" wide tirem which is what 315's are, on stock rims and I will be added to that group once these wear out.
