Default question about exact wheel specs needed for 02 ram

im looking to buy some wheels but realized there a ton of different specs other than wheel height. to be honest i dont know a whole lot about any of that.

im hoping someone can help me. im looking at these wheels:

is this the right wheel i need for my 2002 dodge ram 1500 4X4?

Im pretty sure the bolt pattern is the 5X5.5 but not sure about the backspacing or if its the 17X8 or 17X9?

also are any of those things (other than wheel height) changeable or need to be changed depending on what tire or size of tire i get? in other words, should i know what size tire i want before i get wheels?

i appreciate any help!

stock 17s are 8.5" wide with 4.75 backspace, please refer to this handy invisible guide post

For the record OP. If you want a wheel that looks like that one but half the price look into Crager Soft 8s. It's a popular wheel especially with Jeeps
