Default Help me pick out some new wheels and tires

I have a White JK Sahara with painted hard top and soft top (similar to pictured below). I'm in the market for new wheels and tires. Eventually I would like to put a 3" lift on my JK but for right now, I'm going to buy the rims and tires and upgrade the tires later. I like the following rims but don't know which to get. Either in 18" or 20". I really like the rims in the picture shown but cannot figure out what they are, does anyone know? I'm going with AT tires because it is my DD. Also, what size tires would fit in JK without the lift? Any guidance here with wheel sizes, tire recommendations, or how I should go about the staged lift later would be great. I'm a obviously new jeeper.

I have 35 toyo m/t's and a rock krawler 2.5 max travel lift. I stuck with stock wheels so no help there but I am a fan of xd addicts and AEV Pinter wheels. For lift 2.5 is great for 35s without the need for a driveshaft. I would get a good lift in the first place rather than piece one together over time, do the install all at one. My kit came with everything I needed plus more and it's my DD. hope this helps! Good luck

Start with the two threads stuck to the top of this modified area.

Tires for 18" wheels will be cheaper, and will probably have a better selection. Unless you just like the look of 20's.

Falken wildpeak/rocky mountain, goodyear duratrac, the new mickey thompson at/whatever, general grabber at2 are all getting good reviews lately. Worth taking a look at anyway.
