16x10" rims with a 4" to 4.5" backspacing.

Would those be good for say a 12.5 tire on a leveled 95 f150?

On an F150 you can go with 15"x10". You can use the same offset there too, just understand that the TTB front end won't like the leverage that tires that far out will cause.

VERY common and even with 4-4.5" back spacing they typically still rub.

it is not an issue unless you are rubbing thins at any type of speed. But since they only run under FULL LOCK, there is no issue

Alright thank ya sir! I'm gonna go with 16 inch rims that way I can get a taller and narrower tire... Like a 285 75 16.
