Wheels (sz, offset, backspacing)

I'm pretty sure that I want to go with a 15 x 7 with a 2 inch white wall. But I am a newbie and confused about offset and backspacing.

I would like to wheels and tires to tuck nicely under the wheel wells, and not sit back as far as they do now with the original bias tires.

I have a picture of what I am trying to accomplish...just have to figure out how to post it here.

Photobucket will work for the pic, Just copy and paste using there links.....as for the rim i think the offset is 4 inches, i run 15x7 on the front and 15x8 on the back of my truck and the back rims are reversed offset, maybe around 2-3 inches and they fit fine with 30x9.50 tire. hope that helps.
