basic noob questions

first off I searched as much as I could and im still lost, first question is wheel offset, I am looking to purchase some cheap black wheels to freshen up the look of the truck I was looking at these(check the link). Would these have the correct offset and work with some 31x10.50's or some 32x11.50's?next is I want to put on a leveling kit I see some using a 1.5" in front spring and some using a 2" one preferred over the other? would I need extended radius arms? sorry for the noob questions!

I am not sure about the wheel offset but I can tell you that you will not need extended radius arms for use with a leveling kit. Coil spring spacers are another option to look into other than new springs. They are cheap and keep your factory ride quality.

You can get wheels identical to the ones you linked to only made by cragar from jeg's for 41 bucks a piece. The offset is +4 if i remember right, its whatever the ones with the ford bolt pattern are.
