Wink Wheel off set help

Hi guys, I'm new the site, just bought myself a 96 f-150 reg cab short box 302/auto 2wd truck, only 98000 original Km!, runs amazing and is surprisingly fast, 4.10 gears and a tight L/S.

Well long story short I wanna put some sportier tires on there and I decided that a 255/70 R15 up front and a 275/70R15 or 285/70R15 out back. I'm not sure though that rim width and offset I will need or what will fit on this 2wd f-150.

Any of you guys got any suggestions?

Thanks

to make it easier, you could get rear wheel spacers. They slide on your axle before the tire goes on. Cheap and easy. I dont think they are legal though...
