05 swap what wheels?

Getting all the parts together before I do my 05 swap in my 97 f250. I want to keep a similar style of wheels to the factory circle cutout alcoa rims. Going to be running a 35” tires. Not sure what wheels will give me a flush look, hate when tires stick out much past the fender. Mostly see people with tires sticking past the body when doing the swap, any suggestions? Was thinking the pro comp 69 but those look like they will stick out.

Please explain what an "05 swap" is.

I'm also doing this swap in the future. Issue is, I believe you NEED 17's to clear the brakes on the newer axles. I'd honestly just go with some newer stocks or try and find 8x170 alcoas.
