Help, I want new tires and rims

I've looked around on the site and I'm having trouble understanding backspacing and other measurements. I'm looking to get 17" or 18" rims and tires to go along with them. I'm leading towards Mud terrain, but I might settle for a really good all terrain tire. I would like to make it so my wheels stick out a little bit for a more aggressive look, probably about 1/2 inch to an inch. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

 

What size tire do you want to run? A wheel 4.5 back spacing will make the tires stick out and is also good for UCA clearance for 285s.
KMC makes some great wheels... I love my XD Hoss, just all depends on what YOU like.

Tires: KM2s for M/T, Duratrac's or Nittos for A/T

Just my .02

 

Are you planning to lift?

 

im running FJ wheels (17") with 265's, you'll probably want 285's

 

check out a 17x8 with an offset of ET-0. Tires would be 265/75/17R

 

I do not plan to lift.

 

Hooah! Ranger!
