The easiest wheel combo would be 17 x 8" all round, 4" backspace and either 255/45 or 255/50/17 tires.
Now I have 17x 9.5 (5.5 backspace) in the rear with a 285/40/17 tire, it required offset trailing arms and a shortened rear spring.
You could go 18 on the rear, but then you have to deal with a 10" wide rim (they do not make a 9.5" wide 18) which brings in other factors such as hitting fender lips or if you move the wheel in , having to notch the frame.
