Default Wheels and stuff??

Ok guys...

The wheels I am gonna get for my truck will be the same onesI have now,Pro Comp Alloy7089's, I love them. Question is, should I get the 17x8 4.5" back spacing or the 17x9 4.75" backspacing (like I have now). I think I like the idea of the 17x8's with a 4.5" backspacing cause they will not stick out as far and may not be as prone to rubbing, however ifI get theseI will be limited to a 12.50 tire, which is what I was planning on getting right now anyways, but for the future.... ya never know. I can always buy new wheels ifI want wider tires later, but I don't think I will be swapping wheels/tires for a while after this. I guess the wheel will stick out .75" less than what I have now but the tire may actually only stick out a .5" less than now since the 12.50 is wider than my 305's.... What do ya'll think??

Oh yeah, and as most might know, this for a 6" tuff country lift with 37x12.50 Pro Comp xtreme mud-terrain tires.

It appears as if it is easier to sell my tires with the wheels even if I charge the buyer $500 extra for the wheels (which is what they cost new). Not sure why everyone that has called wants the wheels too, but they do. If I get new wheels when I buy my tires, 4wheelparts can mount and balance them so when I get them all I got to do is throw um on.

Click the picture and then look at the picture of little foot flexin' his muscles, it is awesome, I love the gap between the head light and bumper from flexing so hard.
