Default Finally decided on wheels/tires - couple final questions

Hello all,
I think I finally decided on a wheel and tire combo for my 2013 2dr sport.
I'm going to go with 17x9 xd addicts with a -12mm offset. Does that sound right?
For tires I'm looking to go with nitto terra grapplers 285/70/17. I'm open to other tire choices though if anyone has any thoughts. I happen to be partial to Nittos only because I had them on my mustang.
It will be driven mostly on road and only about 5k miles/year. I do not plan on getting a lift at this time. I'm really just looking for a more aggressive stance. I hate the way the stock wheels sit inside the fenders.
Finally, what's the best way to buy this? Should I just buy everything online, or should I buy just the wheels online and then bring them to a tireshop to have the tires mounted and the everything installed with the TPMS sensors moved over. I'm used to wheels and tires being offered as a package deal but it doesn't seem to be the case with Jeeps.
Anyway, thanks as always for any insight. I appreciate all opinions and advice.
