Default which wheels?

hey just wondering what you think about these wheels. i am wanting to run stock lift for a few years but want a wheel which would allow for 35" tires at some point. but not stick out too much.
i was considering the pro comp series 7005's either the 17x8 with 4.5" bs
17x9 with 4.75" bs
18x9 with 5" bs
wat do you think would be the best for versatility and also which one would be easier to get tires for 33" and 35"
anyone know what offset the stock 18" sahara wheels are?

Here are mine. 17x8 4.5 BS with toyo MT's 35 x 12.50s. The tires stick out about 1/4 - 1/2".

Get the 17x9s.

17" is a good all around diameter and the 9" width will handle a 12.5" wide tire with room to spare. 18s and the associated tires will be more expensive for no added value.
