need some info or help please
Hey guys what i am looking to do is put a set of 22" rims and tires on my 2011 ford f150 fx4 but im NOT looking for the big aggressive mud tire look, I did that to my last truck and I found every time I drove by some mud in a field I couldnt help but go and play, needless to say I beat the crap out of that truck. Some guys might say why did you buy the fx4? well I live in Ottawa,Canada where we get **** loads of snow and having 4wd is nice, plus I love fishing and hunting so you need the 4wd there to,I am keeping the stock rims and putting more aggresive tires on that so when I need to I can switch them over.
What I want is a nice sleek look on stock suspension. So what kind of offset/backspace do I need so I dont rub?
so basically I want to run 22's on stock suspension with no rubbing.

My 4WD works just fine for the driving conditions I've encountered, usually for getting in/around camp sites and when boon docking, and even then I just use the 4A mode. In inclement weather, no issues since I have all-season tires. I still have my stock wheels if things get really sticky.
And truthfully, for what a lot of people do with their trucks, the use of 4WD to its maximum capability will likely never be utilized. I've yet to come across a situation where I need 4L.

Oh yea, wheels are 23" with 305/40 Falken tires and 44mm offset all around. Didn't want to go with the staggered wheels because I like to be able to rotate my tires.

you dont do staggered because that would make you an idiot with a 4x4 that can not lock it in to 4x4... I dont even know where to start if your asking for help, why not ask if it is a good idea? Is it a smart thing to run 23 inch wheels? How badly will the lack of the sidewall effect handling ad ride comfort? Do I ever want to tow anything? and so on...... If you made up your mind your going to do 23 inch wheels dont ask if its ok.....
