Default new rims and tires?!?!?

I'm thinking about new rims and tires. i'm still running stock 18" wheels with Duellers. I'm not planning on lifting right now but i'm wondering what i can fit on there without modifying anything. I know i can just go out to a tire place but i wanted to check things out online so i can have somewhat of a clue when i go to purchase. I'm looking for black wheels and do mostly highway driving.

What JK is it? I think in most cases you can fit 33 x 11 without rubbing, with the exception of when you go wheeling if you stuff the tire.

If you are trying to stick to a budget what I did was look online for somebody selling rims/tires cheap that I like - usually they are not larger tires, so you get the rim swap cheap and can replace the rubber later with a larger tire when $$$ allow. I'm $200 in for 5 brand new Falken 285 60 18 tires (31.5 x 11.5) on 5 2 toned Ballistic rims - would have cost me 2K minus whatever I could have sold my stock's for if I bought them new probably only $350 since my stocks were pretty used. They are not the tires that I want, and were not the rims I would have picked out if I bought my ideal, but couldn't turn down the price.
