Default Black Rock Rims - what size do I need?

I'm looking at Black Rock rims and want to make sure I order the right size. Currently I have stock rims with the Goodyear Duratrac 285/75/R16 tires. do I want the 16x8 Black Rocks and what is the bolt pattern - 5x5? I have a Rugged Ridge 3.5" lift to put on next week and would like to put everything on at once. Also, I have spacers, should I leave these on? Is this a nice combo?

Thanks

The16 x 8 wheel will be fine with those tires, and yes the boltpattern in 5x5. I'm running 285/70R17's duratracs w/ 17x8 black rock 997s w/o any issues what so ever.

You really wont need spacers with the black rock wheels as they have less backspacing than the stock wheels.
