wheels

I am going to start stocking up on supplies to lift my truck in the spring.

Planning on running 33x12.5x15 inch A/Ts and i was wondering what rim specifications (width, backspacing, etc.) would be best to go with so i don't rub on the valence and such cuz i don't want to trim.

Any suggestions would be great....i also don't want to spend a ton on wheels because my budget is low right now....

Thanks

Also i live in MA and i don't know how **** they would be as to how far the tires stick out so i assume a 4 inch backspace would be ok with 33x12.5s and no rub?

ill probably go with the chrome version of those though..

Those would be fine, are you going to run the tires with no lift though?

I found a set of stock wheels off of a 99 explorer 4x4. My question is will they fit my 95 ranger with manual hubs??
