95 ZJ Tire and wheel help

I'm new to jeeps and just picked up my first one. I'm looking to buy some new wheels and tires. My jeep has the Rustys Offroad 5.5 lift and im wondering what offset and width wheel i need to run to clear a 33x10.5 tire.

A 31x10.5 is pretty much the limit for what you hsve . a 33x12.50will mount but a 10" rim is the right size, research tire type determines off set
33's will rub pretty hard at that lift also

Edit-An 8" wide rim will be fine to run the 10.5" wide tires, if you were to step up to a 10" wide rim, you'd really run the risk of pulling the bead off the rim.
