CRAGAR Series 397 Soft 8 or 342 Black Wheels with 5" of back spacing will work. ProComp Series 97 will do the trick too

Is Crager a better choice over others like Pro Comp, Mickey, etc.. I've heard that some are very heavy compared to others.. Just want something that can handle some rock scraping...

45mm is stock, however for a bit extra clearance i reduced miine to 25mm and my 285/70LT17s fit great without sticking out past the wheel well or no rubbing. You may want to consider even reducing that a bit further as your tires are two inches wider.
