Default Wheel/size ?'s

I will need to replace tire soon and figured i would also get some new wheels. I have been looking at VTec Raptor 372. I have bfg 265/70/17 on stock wheel now 05 f150 ext cab 4x4. I was looking to go up to around 33" tire to fill up the wheel well a bit more. I have a 2.5" leveling kit on front. I Would like wheels to sit flush or just passed the fender and not way out. Listed is specs for wheels and didn't know which would be best or correct offset and back spacing to achieve what im looking for. Looking for matte black wheel if you know of any others, Any input would be helpfull.

17x8 b/s 5.43 offset +25
17x9 b/s 6 offset +25
17x9 b/s 4.75 offset -6

If you want the tires to be flush with the fender's go with the 17x8 with 5.43 BS, this wheel is as close to stock as you can get. You can fit a 285 or a 295x70x17 easly with this setup on a leveled 4x4.

I just bought that rim in 18x9.5 with +25 OS and 6.2 BS with 295/70/18 Nitto MT. I do not have pix up yet, but I could not be happier with the look I got!
