If your needing a quick fix for a lift, Tera flex offers a puck leveling kit wich is what I'm running now. I've had it over a year and have no problems. I only paid $115 for it. I am wanting the 2.5 aev lift though.

I actually like the look of those stock steel wheels with big tires. Too much black powder coating and and bling on most wheels these days. Simple, stock, and classic looks tough.
33's will look great. 10.5" wide if you want a narrower, taller look, and 12.5" if you want a wider stance, and all depending on your application.
I've had excellent luck with BFG All Terrains, Goodyear Duratracs, and there seems to be a rave about Nitto's these days.

285/70/17 Duratracs are 32". If you run 1.5" spacers I'm sure you will be fine.
I run made in the USA Spidertrax 1.5 spacers. Synergy/Poly make great products but I don't know if they make their spacer or import them. Make sure to check the torque regularly, I check mine when I do rotations.
You don't want to be tripoding chasing your 33's down the highway. My friend was using drop in spacers in his 350z which caused his studs to snap and sent his tire flying down the highway

"Drop in spacers". Are those the kind that don't have their own studs, they just push the wheel and lug nuts further out on the OEM studs? If so, definitely don't want that kind. Very poor design.

Yep, pretty much just a thick washer, supposed to use extended studs with them but I would never run them. Hub-centric spacers are the only ones that I feel safe running.

I found an inexpensive option was Cragar Soft-8 wheels. They are steel wheels, have the correct backspacing, and usually only run $50-60/ea.
Here is my old 2-door with Cooper Discoverer STT 285/75R16 on the Cragar wheels and stock suspension:
A nice way to jazz up the Cragar wheels is to paint your stock center caps body colored and add them to the wheels.
Then add a lift later on, if you want.
*sigh* I still miss that Jeep!
