Default 05 1500 4x4 wheel questions

i just installed a 3" level kit on my 05 4x4 1500. im still dealing with what size tires and whels to get. i was plannin on a 33x12.5x17mt. but i dont know anything about wheel offsets and etc. i would like at least 2" sticking outside my fender well, to give it that more offroad wide look and ride. any ideas or options?

I would put 35s on it unless you do not want it taller.

Yea, you'll fit 35's fine, may have a little issue if you off-road it hard, but they'll fit. 33's would give a bit better fuel economy though, your call there. As far as the wheel, something with about a 4.5" back spacing in a 17x9 would give you about what you are looking for with a 12.5" tire width...
