What size rims and tires??

I know this has probably been asked a butload of times on this site..I have a '72 Super Cheyenne 3/4 ton 8 lugger, stock height..
I would like to put jus 16" or 16.5" rims with wide tires on it..
What would be a good width of rim and off set it would need so the tires wouldn't rub????

Mine has 16.5x9.75 rims, and 33-12.50 tires. However, I did notch the front of the inner fenders to prevent rubbing at full lock. Since then I put 2" lift springs on front, so I'm not sure if the notches would still be needed. 'Course, they are still there!

I would like my next rims to be 16x8 with 33" tall tires (I don't recall the size but BFG has one with about 8" or so tread width). I think that would be perfect for The Beast!
