Finding proper "monster" rims and tires in 1999 3500 4x4

Hi everyone.
I currently have stock rims with 285/75 BFG All-Terrain tires with 1.5"-2" spacer on the back.

I have allways wanted to put 37" tires and some good looking 17" alloy rims in my dually, but I have some problems.

I know it requires a lift kit, I have 4.5/5" tuffcountry lift kit waiting(that should do it?).

But I have a problem with rims, I'm going to take those front hub extenders of and that changes things, I want to put some nicelooking "normal" 17" alloy rims on the front, but the problem comes when I'm looking same set of dualie rims on the back. I havent found any yet. And I had to find pair of same size steel rims on the back also.

Can someone guide me with this case and give some advices?

Thanks.

Can't help with the wheels, but 4.5" lift is fine with a 37" tire. I run 37s on 17x10 wheel with a +10mm offset and I don't rub at all. I don't 4wheel the truck, so there is not too much articulation in my driving.

You could probably find some regular 8-hole rims from Alcoa for the duallies. I'd imagine they have some 17" rims since both Dodge and Ford run those stock on their duallies. It will be easy finding an 8-hole design for the front, since everyone has those. Weld has some designs in both single and duallie designs, but the taste of some of them are pretty questionable.

Thanks. I'm considering 37x12.5-17 tires or 37x12-17 tires.

I have 2.7"/7cm wide fender flares on the front and if I buy single wheels in the front with +10mm offset and possibly 12.5" wide tires, I was just thinking that are my flares wide enough?

I'm pretty keen on these rims:
Dually
Single

But I'm just wondering how those rims are lasts in salty conditions? We have winters too.

Does someone know a place near Florida where I can buy lets say six 37" All-Terrain tires,those four Velociti rims and two steel rims with them? Possibly an internet store?

Because my friend lives in Florida and he buys and ships those parts for me .
