Default Wheel and Tire Help

I am looking in to getting some new wheels and tires. I do not take it offroad very often. It is my daily driver. I want it to have a wider stance so I am also looking at spacers and would like some advice. I am looking at some Pro Comp 7105's 18". Right now I do not have a lift but plan on a 2" lift eventually. But I would like something I could use without a lift for now. So what tires and spacers should I get?

I'd go with a 9 inch wide wheel and some 33x12.50 tires.

So will the 9" width give me that wide stance without the spacers? Is that what the 4.5" backspacing is? Sorry I am kinda new to this.

Yes, that is the specs on my wheels. Here's a pic so you can see the stance.
