Question Tire and wheel combo

Hey guys, new user here. I was looking at replacing my tires and wheels with some aftermarket ones. My truck had a leveling kit on it when I bought it and has factory wheels wrapped with a set of 285/75r17 terra grapplers. I want to get a new set of wheels and tires that are a bit taller and a little bit wider but do not stick out too far past the fender wells. In other words I dont want to have to put flares on. Just a little bit beefier look. Any suggestions on tire/wheel size that won't rub. 17 or 18 inch wheels are the sizes I am looking at. Thanks guys! I scanned the threads but didnt see one that matched up with my question. Thanks.

I have what's in my signature. I forget what the offset and backspacing is on these wheels, but it works on my truck. No rubbing what so ever. Not ever close to touching with the 35" Toyo's I run. But I do have a Carli suspension you see in my signature.

Hey CJ could you post up a pic of your rig when you get a chance? Looking for something that doesnt stick out too far but still has the mean wider than stock look.

If you click on my username, you can see other posts I've made in the past, with a lot of other pics I've posted. Somewhere among those posts, there's a side shot of my truck, showing how far the tires stick outside.
