wheels to fit stock Sahara

Am looking for a set of wheels, preferably in black, that will fit under the stock fender flares of a 2007 Sahara. I will be running the BF Goodrich T/A KM tires in 255/75/17.

I know the wheels need 4.5" of backspace, but what about the 45mm of offset that the stock wheels have? I do not plan on lifting and do offroad however not very agressivly.

What would you all suggest?

Get the Helo Black Maxx 6 wheels. Mine are 17 X 9 with 4.5" backspacing. That's the only specs you need. I got mine at www.offroadtoystore.com Chris was great to deal with. Last year I paid $140 each for them. Do yourself a favor and get a set of gorilla nuts to go with them. Gorilla nuts run $30 for a set.

I also forgot to mention you need to get 5X5 bolt pattern. Wheels from previous models such as the TJ and YJ have 5 X 4.5 bolt pattern and will not fit, unless you use adapters.
