Default 9" wide wheel on stock tires??

Hey guys! For the time being i have decided im not going to lift the truck or increase my tire size at all for a little while, but in the meanwhile i would still like to get some wheels for my truck and i found a set that im in love with and i think would look great on my truck but they only come in 17x9 or 20x9. Im going to stick with my stock Wrangler AT/S 275/70/17 tires for now because they have plenty of tread left on them. My question is, will a 9" wide rim be too wide for stock tires? Should i be looking for a 17x8? Or isnt this much to really worry about? Thanks guys!!! im lookin forward to getting some awnsers im ready to pull the trigger on some rims!!!!

You shouldnt worry about it at all. 17x9 with those tires will be great.

Stock 20's are 9" wide and come with 275/60's so they'll be perfect! 275 is the width....in mm.

Check the offset of the new wheel compared to the stock offset.
If ther is a huge difference, it might get you into trouble with clearance.
