Default Which size tires and which rims for Toytec 3"?

I already have the Toytec 3" leveling kit with the 1.5" rear AAL installed. I am now currently in the market to get new rims and bigger tires so I need help with what things I need to watch out for. I have been reading other posts and I have gathered that i need to get hub-centric wheels with a 6 x5.5 bolt pattern. So far I have decided on 285/70R17 tires and I read that I need to get spacers too. I do have the flares on my truck so should I get 1.5" or 1.25" spacers? I dont want them to stick out and look awful and keep my truck dirty but I want it to look good. How much backspacing and offset do I need when looking for rims? Right now I am looking at the 2 right black rims out of the 4 on this website, also 17x 8.5 rims are good?

also is an attached picture of my truck, i am also trying to decide on which rims to get i can't really decide, i dont want to spend a fortune, just looking for decent black rims

I hate hearing crickets! Maybe I can help you out. As far as I know, backspace needs to be less than 4.5" to be safe. shoot for 4"-4.25" with that backspace you wont need wheel spacers/adapters. 8.5" wide rims should be fine if the backspace is correct, mine are 9"and stick out a bit due to having no flares. it does dirty my truck when I hit puddles but I learned not to care.
Now here's the thing that got my attention, you said 33x12.5 tires. you will rub with that width and may want to go skinnier. you get more traction from a taller diameter than from a wider tire. Mine are 285/75 16 which is equal to 285/70 17. its more like 33x11.25. check my pics if it helps. also, the best thread for you to see is in the off-road section, second sticky by devinsixtyseven. I think its off-road tundra mods, its priceless info. good luck bud.
