Wheel Recommendation/offset Question

[jimbrown_1]

I have a 2005 Sierra Crew Cab Z71 with a levelling kit installed, front height increased approx. 2". I had Michelin LTX AT2 tires installed (LT 285/70/17) on the stock OEM wheel (17" X 7.5). I'm curious if anyone has a recommendation on the offset for the wheels I am looking to purchase? I'm looking at the Ballistic Off Road 810 Wizard in chrome 17 X 9 with either the +0 (5.0 backspacing) or +12 (5.47 backspace) offset. The tires don't rub now and still has the stock look but I want to get away somewhat from the stock look without the wheels sticking too far out from the OEM fender flares/wells. Thanks in advance for the advice.

The 5.47 will be close to sticking out but will fill the fenders up nice the 5.0 might stick out a little. I had 5.71 for the old wheels I had and it was nice but I wanted it to stick out. My wheels now are 4.5 backspacing and with 12.5" wide tires and stick out about 3" and they do rub even with a body lift and keys cranked.
