help choosing wheels and tires

hi guys, my name is Linndsey :toung: . I own a 2007 black sahara. i want to upgrade to bigger wheels and tires and do not want a lift.

i was thinking of getting an American Racing Mojave Teflon 17x8 (4.5 backspacing)

with Pro Comp Extreme All Terrain (305/65/17)

I do not do much offroading except the beach and if i do go it is rarely extreme.

i was wondering if this is a good wheel and tire combination

and secondly, if it will cause rubbing for mild offroading.

Lastly, i was wondering if i would also have to buy a new jack for this.

Also, if anyone has pictures of the mojave teflon 17s with 33s plssssssssssss Post pictures

Thank you in advance guys:crazyeyes:

No, your jack should be fine, you are only going up about 1/2 an inch.

I have heard good things about the ProComps. Not sure about the Mojaves, haven't seen any feedback from owners.

I talked to a guy at the tire shop who warned me about teflon wheels. He said they scratch really easily, just like teflon cooking pans. Just thought I would pass it along.
