What is the offset of the new wheels with respect to the OE wheels?

As far as tire width, the specs on sites like tirerack.com can provide the recommended wheel width range for tires. 275's are typically the widest for a 9" wheel.

Use this calculator to pick a size that'll keep your new tire O.D. equivalebt to the stock tire O.D.: http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoTireMath.dos

thats a good idea. 245 is too thin for a 9 inch wheel. 255 is the perfect width in my opinion.

255's up front, 275's in back. Just maintain the tire O.D.'s equivalent.
