Help with picking new wheels. What fits without modifications?

Hey guys, I'm buying new tires and figured I would replace the wheels as everything else on the Blazer has been restored and new. Going to go with 33x12.5x15 bfg tires.

Looking for something that looks like these Weld Stone Crushers. Not sure if I want aluminum ore chrome.

What are you guys running that will bolt up with the 33" tires without rubbing and having to make the center hole for the hub larger?

Thanks in advance!

Looks like DiscountTire has one but not sure if it will fit correctly. They say it will.

Looks like American Racing one that looks just like what I need. These are 4" backspacing and from what I here might rub the tie rod so I am going to go with the 15x8 with the 3.75" back spacing.

I'd go with Alum since you can repair them if damaged. Chrome it is very expensive to repair and hard to find a shop to do so.
