Question Need wheels and tires, need input.

Hey all,
Looking at buying some wheels on the web. I have a '93 extended cab.
I just don't know what size to get. I'd like to have a little wider wheel/tire and a little bulge(?)on the sides. Sorta like a rock crawler look.
I have no idea about back spacing, looked at the faq's and don't know if I overlooked it or not. Here's the wheels I'm looking at.

I have stock suspension and don't plan on lifting my 2wd.
Also what size tires would you all recommend?
Any input is appreciated, thanks.

I have my heart set on black steel rims. Unfortunately, It's all my budget allows. That and I really like the look.

I like black rims as well but not on a bright colored vehicle. If you had a 2 tone truck with white top and black lower, I would say go with black. But if its all white, go with chrome. IMO...

Look at some rides on www.cardomain.com and get you some idea's.

I think the black rims would look great on white, I'm planning on doing the same on my white dakota after I get some other, more important things done to it.
