Default Need Help ASAP

I have a question.

I have a 2004 F150 XLT SuperCab 4x4, I just bought a 2.5" Rough Country Leveling kit. Will 295/70r18 fit on 18x8.5 with 5.495 backspacing and +18 offset, on my truck without rubbing? Please help me out! I want to fit 295/70r18 anyway I can without any rubbing or trimming!

I am running a 275/70 R18 (33x11) on after market wheels, sorry don't know the width or back spacing off the top of my head. But I am not having any problems with it, and it makes the truck look awesome!

I bought a cheap 2005 F150 XL and the tires will need to be replaced in the next few months. I thinking about buying a used rim/tire package off of craigslist for no more than $300.00 instead of spending $500+ on new tires.
I've attached the tire sizes that Discount Tire recommends. The stock tires are 235 70R17.
Will there be any issues with speedometer or brakes by going to different widths or larger 18" tires?
