How will my K5/truck look with xx" tires on xx" of lift?

89' with procomp 4" springs and zero rate 1" forward on front. Sectioned front fang on fenders. Shackle flip and new stock height rear springs in back. BFG baja T/As 37x12.50x16.5 on stock hummer wheels with 2" spacers all around. Airsoft BBs to balance. Stock steering for now with raised steering arm.

1970 jimmy. 6 inch suspension lift from sky skyjacker (springs) 35" Goodyear MTR. Just realized I don't have any good pics.
Almost to the point where I can get it running. All that's really left is
Exhaust
Fuel return line
Front clip reinstall
Reconnecting electrical
Button up the top (carb etc..)
Then I can take it out for some better pics

Can’t make up my mind between these two. I reeeeeally like the USMags but they will be more expensive eating into the tire money. I’d like to run 35or37” tires on them.
No rock crawling mainly AZ desert driving and pavement

Wow.
Yeah I don't spend more than $100 per wheel, I pick the best in my budget.
But then again I don't have a money tree.:dunno:

Me neither.,, I’m just planning for down the road. I have 16.5 Weld or Weld knock-offs that came on it when I bought it. but many here have said it’s a dead size. I can run what I have now wheel wise and just get new tires.

So if 16.5 is dead or not ideal 17 seems the logical “upgrade” but more $ than say 15 wheels
 
Can someone help me out here. I have been Googling and searching and not finding much. I just bought some Falken Jeep takeoffs in 285/70/17 for my 88 K5 with 2.5" lift. All the wheels I have been looking at are 17x9 with either a +1 or -12 offset so either 5.04 or 4.53 backspacing and I'm being told I can't run more than 3.5" of BS on this ride without rubbing?
 
4-4.5” BS is pretty common. Mine are -12 offset 17x9 with 37” tires.
Yeah they rub at full stuff on 5” lift.

I’m thinking those would be fine. Ran 33” tires on 4” BS no lift and had some rub. If you wheel it, you’ll probably have to trim
 
I probably won't be wheelin' it much. I will use it for trails and taking my little boy fishing etc. The other options I am finding are a 17x8.5 with 4.75" backspacing.
