You will need a wheel with 5x135 bolt pattern. No smaller than 16" diameter. A 9" wide wheel with a -12 offset or a 10" wide wheel with a -25 offset would work out best.

If you go with a 10" wide wheel, you need at least a 12.50" tire. If you are going to stick with the OE 265/70/17 tires you would need an 8" or 9" wide wheel. Backspacing tells you how far the wheel will "stick out". A 9" wide wheel with 4.5" backspacing (-12 offset) will stick out 1.5" farther than the stock wheels.

You will need a 17" wheel for the stock tires.
