I scored my Eagle 114 for 5 for $500 off a fellow DTR member. There actually a set right now in the classifides for about the same.
Problem is they arnt 5-10 hole design, they are a more modern spoke look that most people prefer now days. If your still down for the old school 8 hole design thay can be had really cheap about $100 a wheel. You dont need anything fancy since its a very common mass produced design.
Good Luck

Do not know exactly what to tell ya but there should be plenty of wheels like what you want out there as far as tires go most that say 33 12.5 do not look right to me they look wide and squatty almost like a low pro and they spec put at like 32.3 tall which you can get almost that close with 285/70/17 and one tire I have taken a likeing to is the hankook under 6 bills on ebay in 285
nice lookin tire some one else slao said that the Revo is out now in a 285 and on tirerack for llike 155 each I ran those on my chevy and were the nicest riding quiet I ever had.

I am running the Eagle Alloys series 186 (super finish) 17x9 and so far they are holding up great. I have run the Eagle Alloys on my previous two Dodges & I have never had any issues with them. My current ones I purchased off of E-Bay for $405.00 & that included wheels, center caps, lugs, valve stems & shipping.....
Here's a pic of my current 3rd gen with the 17x9's....[IMG]

This is a pic of my old 2nd gen that had the 16x8's on it....[IMG]

295/70/17 is tje optimum size in my eyes only problem I have is there are only two manufactures that I can think of that make it the nitto terra and toyo mt
hopefully more companies will make this size or evolve into a 80 series would be good as well do not really need the width just more heighth
