Would love to see the options that are out there, I hate having my spacers on..
I know AEV's fit with no issue, any others?
Of course the pre-requisite is running bigger tires

I'm not running spacers. There are quite a few wheels that will fit... the key is getting the optimal width and backspace.
8-8.5" wide and 5-5.5" backspace combinations are what you want to look for. As you get into the 4.5" backspace or 9" width range you start to run into rubbing issues, primarily with the wider wheels because then you cant run thinner tires to compensate.

If you have a few bucks to spend, Walker Evans makes some nice wheels that'll work. Otherwise just search the standard wheel stores for AR, MB, etc brand wheels with the necessary specs.
I do NOT run wheel spacers. I ran Firestone Destinations AT 255/70/17 on Hulk rims for over three years. I just recently replaced those with Falken Wild Peaks AT 265/65/17 still on the Hulk rims. Neither rub anywhere or at anytime. I have a 2" lift.
Sorry Guys,I should have been more specific - Tire size at 255/75 or 265/70 M/T's at a minimum. Im not going smaller tires when its time to get new ones.
The issue I have is the caliper as well as the rubbing.

My Wheels are 18X9 5.71 back space and +18mm Offset. No spacers. With 4" Lift and pinch weld mods, no problems so far... but not much room to spare !

Wheel combinations you want to look at:
8" wide with 5-5.5" backspace
8.5" wide with 5.5" backspace
Deviations will depend on the level of trimming/rubbing/etc you think is acceptable for your intended driving/wheeling.
Thats also what I was looking for and 285 X 60 's.
But with 18" I was limited to my selection on wheels and tires. Every time I found a wheel I liked with that spec it was discontinued. Happened 3 times. So ended up with my 4th choice and 65's.
The back space and tire ratio I ended up, I knew both where pushing the limits.... Oh Well ... My Luck... but it has worked better than I was expecting.
Oh also, just FYI for anyone looking at any wheel tire combos... here is a Link to a cool wheel-tire calculator. You can put in your stock spec's and then see what happens with other combos. http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp
