Wheel Offset/Back Spacing

I'm looking to replace my stock wheels on my 2005 F250. I'm currently running 33-12.50-17 tires and would like to keep them. I want the tires to stick out a little more and was wandering about what backspacing to get. I don't want them to be to agressive, but more than stock. Any suggestions? New rims are 17x8.5

Thanks
Jamie

Your 17X7 OEM wheels have approximately 5.5" of back spacing. If you purchase new 17X8.5" wheels with the same 5.5" of back spacing, the new wheels will stick out 1.5" more than your OEM wheels.
