So I tried to do some researching but I couldn't find much, I'm looking into getting some rims next year hopefully for my birthday. The only thing is I don't know anything about backspacing and offset. So hopefully someone can help me out. I want a rim that's gunna make my tires stick out past the fenders about 1.5"-2". So my question is what backspacing/offset should I look for to make them stick out that far? Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance

Nine inch wide wheel with 4.5 bs and a -12 offset will do the trick. Not sure if you are 4wd but if so with a level and negative offset wheels 33s will be the largest tire you can fit without trimming. Anything less than a +35 offset with a nine inch wide wheel will stick out more than stock.

Sorry I didn't mention before, my truck is 2wd. 2004 F150 XLT. 3" leveling kit and 2" AAL

Well you should still be able to get away with close to 33, just may require minimal trimming.

I have some 285/70-17 nitto terra grapplers on my truck right now.
I was looking at pro comps 1069 polished rims
They are -6mm offset and 4.75" backspacing. Would that give me the look I'm going for?

Yep, just know that you may have to trim a little. Should just be plastic. On the following thread page 9 there are a couple trucks with what appears to be around 4.5 inch bs wheels. Bshipe22 is also a member (former) on here that had 2wd with 3 inch level and -12 offset and 35s, so it is possible with minor trimming

Yeah like Jerry said, you will be fine with those wheels and your 285's. It will look good.

Thank you both for the help! I just wanted to make sure before I bought anything. Hopefully ill have them here in a few months after I save up some more cash (money's been tight lately)
