Default Getting ready to order some billet wheels and need some help

I have a 13' FX4 that is lowered 3" in the front and like 3 1/4" in the rear (2" shackle/removed factory block). I am getting ready to order some 24" HRBB billet wheels, but I am unsure of what offset, backspacing, and width that I can get by with. I would love to stagger them, but I know the 4x4 wouldn't function right (I only use 4 wheel drive during the occasional winter snow we get down here). Will a 24" x 9.5" with a 44mm offset be able to work without rubbing when making turns/off camber driveway turn-ins? Looking to run a 305/35r 24 tire. Can I get by with a 10" wide wheel? What backspacing? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I think you'd be hard-pressed to fit a 305 tire on a truck that's been lowered at all...

Not sure on rubbing but i have a set of 20" billets on a different truck and they are a HUGE pain in the *** to make them look like there supposed to. I don't even daily drive it. To each there own but unless you have tons of free time or are a lot less **** than me I'd go with a different finish. However they look killer when all shined up.

They offer putting a clear coat over the finish. Reckon that would help out on the up keep? I was hoping that maybe the DJM/Belltech guy would chime in with some ideas on backspacing and width. He seems to be sharp on lowering kits. Im sure he has seen quite a bit of different setups on various F150's.

I have 305/50/20's on my 06 FX4 with a belltech 3/5. I have no issues with turning. I was planning on running the same size wheel and tire, well a 24x10 with a +30mm. Fairly close. Subbed for more input
