Default Help with rims

Hey guys, soooooooooo im planning on getting rims soon, which are these ( http://www.ultrawheel.com/wheel_deta...brand=1&id=378 ) either the 17" or 18" but leaning towards the 18". Trouble is i have no idea what I'm doing when choosing the right one (backside setting, offset, bolt circle, x factor, bore and load rate) Any info would help!

Thanks, yea i came across them in biiig product catalog and they're only $148/rim which isnt too bad. I want to get bigger/meatier tires so that's why i was thinking 17 or 18

If you have 18s now stay with 18s if you want a meaty tire. As for tires look at the bfg ta/ko they will last 60k miles if you take care of them and if you want a more agressive look the goodyear duratracs they look sick and are awesome in the mud and snow. Also the firestone destionation mt's look bad a$$ and are awesome in the mud and deep snow. Just some ideas to help you get started.

Yea I'm probably going to get the 18's so I can just switch the rims in the winyer/summer and keep the same tires. I'm going to get the Cooper ST's (32"), my friend has a pair of those on his ram and they're really good in all sorts of conditions. If wasn't going to get the ST's then I probably would have gotten the Duratracs, I like the look of those. I was thinking about getting wheel spacers but idk if it affects anything...
