For what it's worth, there isn't always a huge pricetag (if prepared to make a few compromises and wait for bargains)

I swapped some furniture for the lift kit (ironman kit only around $600 anyway, and has been faultless). I picked up s/h 35/10.5 pedes, $200 for 4. I started off running stock offset 16x7 sunnies backwards (70mm backspacing, as opposed to 135mm). They had a flush face to mount against, and you drill new valve holes and install new tubeless valves (half turn around to avoid strength compromise), under $100 for set if you hunt around.
Yes, the do look odd (read 'quirky') if you look closely and notice the rims are inside out.
No, this is not for everyone, but this was done on a budget, and the wheels are only on a couple of times a year.
All up, under $1000 for new lift, rims and 35 tyres.
I have plans to get some 35/15's for new rims to satisfy purists when budget allows.
