Default Looking for expert advice on wheels and tires

Hi everyone, I just got my JK 2-dr yesterday, but have been looking for wheels and tires over 2 months. I am living in Hong Kong and it has been very difficult finding big wheels and tires over here. I will have to order the wheels and tires from online stores and UPS to Hong Kong.

I have been searching forums and google and just could not find my answers, therefore it would be much appreciated if anyone here can give me clear suggestions...

My JK Status: All stock, no mod yet. Stock tire size, P255 75 R17.

My Aim: Get a set of wider wheels and tires without getting a lift, and they must align with the flare guards, and of course they won't touch the side when turning.

Questions:

- If I buy the American Racing Mojave (Matt Black Color) wheel, what is the spec that I should be looking for 17", for example, the offsets and width. And what about the maximum tire width in order to reach the above aim (align with the flare guards.)

- Should I get the 32" or 33" for the tires? Because I heard the speedo will inaccurate if I go for 33"

- What about 18" wheels, what will be the spec than?

P.S.: I am driving 90% Highway and normal road.

Sorry for asking so many questions and very looking forward to seeing your suggestions! If this has been discussed before, please point out, because I could not find any.

Thanks in advance
