Need your Help!

After several months of being indecisive, I've finally come to the conclusion that I want to change my wheel/tire combo. I need to get rid of my current set, so I have some room in the garage. They're 17" MB TKO wheels with BFG KOs in 245/70/r17. The wheels have some wear and tear as expected over 23k miles. I'll take pictures of everything for serious inquires. But I'm creating this thread because I can't find exactly what I'm looking for. I like the fake beadlocker look, but I want the wheel to have a "deep" look that pokes out the fenders. I was talking to a wheelpro service advisor who said that a 16x8 or 16x9 wheel with -12mm offset would give me the look I'm going for. The only problem is that I can't find anything with those specs. Any help is appreciated! Here's an example of what I'm interested in:


Furthermore, he said I could fit a 285/75/r16 tire with some minor trimming. I'm wondering if that will work with my Bilstein lift set at .85 (1.25 inches of lift)? He says there is a 50-50 chance of them fitting without lifting the front. The reason I want to go this route is because the tires are cheaper in the bigger size and it'll look badass!

First thing, you will need more lift to fit a 285/75-16. You could stuff it in the wheel well with the lift you have currently but there will be a lot of rubbing and a lot of trimming required.

Second, the wheel pictured is the Mickey Thompson Classic Baja Lock, they offer it in our bolt pattern (6x5.5) in a 16"x8" with 0mm offset (4.5" BS), 16"x8" with -22mm offset (3.63" BS), or 17" x 9" with a -12mm offset (4.5" BS). If you really wanted the deep dish look they make it in a 16"x10" with -25mm offset (4.5" BS). A 285/75-16 won't fit a 10" wide wheel though, you'll need a wider tire for that width.

Keep in mind, the rubbing gets worse the wider the wheel is. The more it sticks out the more it hits the fender while turning.
