Default New rims on stock tires with 2.5 lift

Hello just got me a 15 Sahara but thinking of lifting to 2.5 but keeping the 32' tires. I want to change the rims thou to something with offset to get the tires positioned further out.
Anybody has pics? Or should I change to a smaller rim and bigger tires?

You're right, I think it will look good but not sure that's why wanted to check pics if available
Also thought about going to 33's and going with a smaller rims. Having a hard time finding anything for 18's

I'll use it for daily commute most of the time this is why I don't want to go to big but will try some off-road on the weekends plus love how it looks

Lifting for stock tires is a waste of money and does almost nothing for you off road. On a dd its kinda dumb to do. Same with 33's, wheel bs is more important then the 1/2" of fender clearance due to the slightly larger tires.
