Take your time and pick the wheels that you really like, you're going to be stuck with them for a long time.
Don't rush it.

This test fit was using a rim with an offset of 25mm (which is roughly 1" - an 18" offset would push the tire out by approximately 1/4" as compared to mine.). I'm looking at using a Nitto Terra Grappler 285/70-17

Is the 33" before or after the lifts?

I would stick with 265/70/17, going with 285's could present problems.
