Whats your question? I already answered the first offset question... any with a 4.5" backspacing, a negative offset will work (either -6, -12, or whatever). The more backspacing you have, the farther the wheel will stick out. with a 35" tire and 4.5" BS, it'll be close on the inside, and stick out about 1.5". A 5.5" BS would make the wheel stick out 2.5", etc....
I'd like to get 35's on now but won't be lifting the truck until next year (with the exception of the leveling kit I will be putting on shortly)... so guess it will be 33's for now.
I just ordered new wheels. KMC XD addict wheels. 17x9. with nitto terra grappler 305/70/17 tires. they come in tuesday. Ill post pics for you so keep and eye on the forum. they look similar to wheel #3.
Did you order the black Addicts?
Can't wait to see those!!
Out of the ones you listed I'd say #2, also you may want to look here http://www.ntwonline.com/ I got my wheel and tire package from them they are really great to deal with and they will make sure the wheels/tires will fit your truck.
