Have a look on the Jeep specific stores like SBR, Murchison Products etc.

They have a select group of rims with the correct backspace that are hub centric.

I have AEV Pintlers in black as I've always loved the simplicity of 5 spoke rims. However I'm also considering a set of Mickey Thompson Classic II or Pro Comp Series 1069 as I also like the look of them on a Wrangler.

I'm running muddies and love them however they are noisy once you get up around 80kph and can be a little squirmy at low speeds due to the large tread blocks.

That's not too much of a problem for me as mine isn't a daily driver so I'm happy to live with it.

My advice would be to go for a set of All Terrains with an aggressive tread pattern. Modern AT's as just as good as muddies in the slop and are better to live with day to day.

Here's a pic of mine with the Pintlers
