Default Offset/Backspacing?

I am getting a leveling kit on my 98 flareside, 2WD....And I want to keep the stock size wheels (16 inch), and I want to get 33 inch tires.
Sooo, my question is, what size offset, and backspacing would y'all recommend? Pics would be awesome, but any kind of help is great!
Thanks guys!

depends on how far you want them to stick out.. i have +/-0 offset with a 9" wheel on mine with 315/70/17's and it is too far in for my liking i dont come past the wheel arches i would prefer alot more negative offset something like -12 or a wider wheel... i also have a 4x4


they tuck real nice tho! i am amazed with that big of tire


hope this helped..

Looks great! Do you have any idea what the stock backspacing would be for my truck?

Loving those wheels! I think I am going to go with a -12 offset, and I want to keep my stock backspacing.....However, I don't know what my stock backspacing is...Do you have any idea what it might be?

I thought they were, they look good. I went and looked at a set a guy had listed on craigslist, he wanted 400 for the set but they were in a rough shape so I passed them up. They have a -12 offset BTW.
