Default What fits my 03 1500

Recently got myself a 2003 ram 1500. It's currently all stock but I'm lookin for some big upgrades. I have looked all over but heard multiple things. I plan to get a 5" lift and 35" tires. I was wondering what all the specs wud be for the tire size with width, offset, and bolt pattern, etc. Also for 12.5 wide tires wud I need a spacer? Also, lookin for some nice simple black rims. Anyone no of some simple black rims that will get the job done but are not too expensive? And one last thing, I'm just looking to lift it and change wheels and tires but is there anything I would need to change then? Or probably should change?
Thanks

Wheel/tire specs are here:

While I haven't used them myself,I hear the Cragar soft 8's are a good solid wheel for little cost.

I've had Soft 8s on two Jeep Wranglers and a lifted Grand Cherokee. Great wheel for the money.
Also look at the Mickey Thompson Classic series, another similar looking wheel but aluminum so they are lighter and have a higher strength to weight ratio. Although a bit more $$$...
