tire/wheel sizes

i have a 99 f250 sd 4x4, 5.4L. right now i have the stock 16" wheels, and 265-75-16 tires. well, i want to put some bigger tires on it, but i dont want to get into the issue of re-gearing and all. i do have a set of 35-12.5-15 tires, and i was wondering if there are any 15" wheels to fit these trucks. or, would that be too much offset? and, if i do just a leveling kit, then what size tries could i run? will they just allow a 32 or a 33? thanks for all the advice in advance.

I'm not sure if you can put a 15" wheel on that 250, regardless off the offset/backspacing.

well, i found out that you have to go with at least a 16" wheel. but i wonder how the truck will do with 33'2 with the stock 3.73 gears. i know that when i stepped up into 33's on my dodge, i had to run 4.10 or it was real doggy. also, does anyone have any pics of this style truck with a leveling kit? thanks.
