awesome..what offset? Looking forward to the feedback and pictures
So perfection! Awesome ride no rub. Sorry but I don’t know what the rear offset is

Don't really need spacers with aftermarket wheels. Probably 5+2 offset?
I am more confused than ever.
If I buy new wheels I do not need spacers?
For example, if I go with the following:
12x7, 5+2 offset, 4x110 wheels ITP Delta Steel Wheel (Silver)
with
26x9-12 tires Traxion Gripper MAX Radial Tire
I should be good to go without spacers, lug nuts or anything else?

If I go this route it will only cost me a few dollars more than using my oe wheels with spacers and I will have a spare set ready to go.
I will be able to fully rotate tires
I should not have any rubbing ??

Is it worthwhile to put Balancing Beads in them?

Going with aftermarket 5+2 wheels will give you more width than stock. Based on 9" tires on all four, you will be skinnier in the back. 1" spacers for the rear should give you a closer track width. Based on the wheels you posted, you shouldn't need splined lug nuts either. I've never balanced my tires but I don't do much road running either.
Pretty sure this is accurate, it's been a while.

Thanks for your reply.
Is it important to have the same "track width"?. The rear track is a couple of inches less than the front now with the factory wheels and tires.

For some it is. Some claim you'll get better traction having a different track. I personally like to know when going through deep ruts and such that whatever line I take with the front the rear is going to follow.

Thanks again.

Spacers will be about $80 and I'm trying to conserve. I can also add them later if I feel inclined.

Do you think that I will be happy and notice the difference if I buy the wheels and tires I listed above, or should I just wear out the factory ones first and then proceed?

I think you'll definitely notice a difference. The larger radial tires will give you a better ride and the added width will give it more stability. $80? For how many sets? Quad Boss spacers on eBay for $50 is the way I go, they have tapered lugs too.
