Wheel and Tire combo question

Hello Gents, I have a question about a wheel and tire combo. First off, I have an 03 Sport 4WD V8. I have been reading threads and just don't seem to have an answer yet. I am thinking about getting some Rock Crawler Series 97 wheels with BFGoodrich 285/70/17's. The wheels have an offset of 4.5 inches. Seen here: http://www.4wheelparts.com/4wp/products/productLine.asp?cat=WHE&prodline=3204&catName=WHEELS&man=TECH In your opinion, do you guys think that will be enough offset to fit those tires? I am thinking that they will fit with minimal rubbing. I found a great site, well, I stubbled across a great website. It is www.tirepackage.com. They are running an instant 50 dollar rebate. ALso, you can purchase there "no questions asked" warranty and you get free shipping, which in my case ends up being only 8 bucks more than the shipping price. Also, they mount and balance everything for free. The total price you ask ... $1100 shipped. Not bad, huh? I am going to get a lift eventually. I am really liking the Cornfed stuff. But, I really want to get those wheels and tires. It will give the truck that "Get-the-F##k-out-my-way" look. Know what I mean? I appreciate any advice. Oh, do I need to get new lug nuts? I would hate to get everything and not be able to put the damn things on. Thanks again, Joe

The Hunter balancer Good Times is talking about is the Road Force balancer (GSP9700). Truck tires are easy to balance and can be done with almost any balancer and the right mechanic. The Hunter balancer is more for sports car wheels and low profile tires that have problems.
