Wheel help
I have a 2002 F250 4x4 and its only gonna have a leveling kit on it, and maybe 350 blocks if the level lifts the front higher than the rear. Were shopping for wheels and I'm wanting to run either 18's or 20's with a 33x12.5 tire. I really like the XD Hoss and Diesel wheels but I dont know what offset will work without hitting the front leafs. I think a -12mm would look good, but will that rub? A -24mm seems like it would have a deep lip and really stick the wheels out past the fender, It'd be nice to stick out a little but would that be too much? A guy at a wheel shop I talked to said to get +18mm but if anything I'd want a 0mm offset. So what offset would work with this front suspension? Does anyone have any pictures with a similar setup? Any help is appreciated

So after hours of searching it looks like on a 9" wide wheel I will need at least -9mm offset with 4.5" backspacing. So a really good combo seems to be a 18x9 with -12mm offset with a 33x12.50 tire. Is this correct?
Anybody know how much a 9" wide wheel with -12mm offset will stick out past the fender? or will it be close to flush?
I wanted 18x9 XD diesels but they only have a 0mm offset in those, that wont work will it?

I am looking for wheels right now also but everything I have read says no matter what width wheel you get to stick with a 4.5" back spacing. I am wanting to run a 275/65R20 Tire like on the newer 2011+ superduties but I cant find a wheel skinnier than a 20x9 that I like and that tires is best using a 8"-8.5" wheel. Most of the wheels I like are in an 18x9 but that size wheel makes it hard to find a tire that is a 34x11.5 tire I am trying to get down to. FYI I have a 4" Icon spring lift but am trying to get a little better fuel mileage and towability without it looking funny with the 4" lift. So far I have found some Fuel boost wheels in a 20x9 and 4.5" backspacing but not sure if I like them. The 20x9 XD hoss has the correct backspacing also but I dont like it very much. Most of the cool wheels are 5" or more backspacing which is too much for our trucks. To answer your question though a 9" wide wheel with 4.5" backspacing sits right even with the fender on my 2002 F350.
