Default Spacer size help needed, Please!

Hey guys,

I miscalculated the offsets when I bought some new rims for my 2012 f150stx and I have the 2" bushwacker fender flares on and I guess it looks allright but the wheels look pretty sucked in to me and its driving me nuts, most of the guys I see running around town with these flares on have some pretty decent offsets on their rims or must be running with spacers on to fill them out a bit.

I have attached a few photos of the truck as it sits now and was wondering what you would put on these wheels to make them look right, I do not know enough about these to know if it should be 1"-1.5" spacers and if I will have issues with running a larger tire next time around. I was going to get them from wheeladapter.com based off of your guys reputation but fred is getting pretty old over there and wasn't super helpful when it came to thickness suggestions.

I have the truck going into the body shop soon because some moron riding his buddy's bike around the block ran it into the side of my parked truck, I figured I would have them put them on while it was there.

The specs for the current rims are:
Size: 18x8.5
Offset: 25mm
Backspacing: 5.71"
Bolt Pattern: 6-135
Rec. Tire Size:275/65-18
Weight: 24.7lbs.

Current Tires:
LT295/70r18 (35" Nitto Terra A/T)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
