Ordering 37's and Rims (Need Help)

As the title says I'm am going to be ordering some 37's tonight or tomorrow morning with either a 15,17 or18 inch black rim. I currently have 20"ProComp alloys but they are corroded and leaking air out of my 35x12.5 **** Cepeks.(i had a flat this morning) :-/
Ive been looking at a few different sites, tire rack, tire package, anyone have anywhere else I should look? Any suggestions on a good wheel/rim combos?
Ive found 37x12.5x17 BFG AT's for 1385
DC-2 Black by **** Cepek 17'S for 440.
I am trying to keep the total around 2000$
Also, I think BigHorn told me to run -12 offset with 18 or 20's, will the same apply with a smaller rim? Should have no rubbing issues right?(6" lift)

Thanks a lot
MC

Smallest rim our 3rd gens can run is a 16 but that's hacking up the brakes which I always thought was a bad idea. A set of 17 inch rims and tires to match should save ya some coin compared to 20s or bigger

Discount tire could be another place to look too, I got my tires from there.

Theres one nearby, i went online and found out they open at 8am tomorrow morning so ill ride by and see what they can do. Ill post what i found out if anyones interested

BTW when i was at pep boys earlier getting them to look at my tire, the best they could do on a set of Cooper 35x12.50x17s were 1630 with a rebate of 300 or so.

So i went to discount tire this morning, and they had some 17's and 35s in stock. I needed to get my truck fixed bc I'm leaving my truck with my gf tomorrow and heading to japan for work. Once i get a few more things in order and lift the truck more ill end up going with something bigger than 37'S. Prob 38 or 40s in the future. But for now, I like the 35s. Pics are attached, enjoy ;)
BTW 35x12.5x17 Nitto trail grappler Mts is what i ended up going with. Installed in less than an hour and cost 2100 and comes with the lifetime stuff.

From my experience bud, DON"T BUY YOUR WHEELS ONLINE.....Buy from a local dude. I am waiting for two credits for this mistake. Just trying to help. I am running a 17x9 with 0 offset with 35's and have plenty of room and it is only sticking out about 1/2 inch past the wheel well.

I would not recommend Discount Tire online, I have had to send two sets back. They sucked.

I bought local and paid $490.00 for my wheels and $1240 my tires with lifetime balance, rotate and road hazard.
