Help... Wheel Fitment

Am I going to have a problem with these wheels and tires rubbing on my 2001 F150 ext cab 4x4? They will be mounted on a Toyo open country m/t 33x12.50x20. The truck will be leveled by cranking the torsion bars up. Please help me understand this stuff haha ( offset and backspacing)

Here are my options:
Fuel D530 Hostage - Chrome - MHT Fuel Off Road Wheels - Aluminum Wheels - Wheels - by 4 Wheel Parts

backspace is how much of the rim sticks out behind the lugs. offset is how far the lug plate is from the center (in- out) of the rim. see photos at bottom of the attached page.
