I'll try to keep this short and to the point. I have visited many local tire shops recently and NTB Tire & Service in Woburn seemed really knowledgeable and helpful. I am looking to go up to 33" tires and down to 17" rims, but it will be a year until a lift is happening. NTB recommended the size below and said anything larger will most likely rub against my struts. Going down to 17" rims seems logical, although the tire they recommend seems a bit small. I am trying to hit that sweet spot of commuting to work and doing green trails with y'all. My stock wheels struggled quite a bit at the 101

Stock wheels: 255/70/18
NTB's Recommendation 235/80/17
A/T tire recommendation: Nitto Terra Grappler G2. Quiet on roads, okay grip on trails:

Rims XD140 RECON:

Does this size seem accurate without a lift? Will getting rims with an adjusted backspacing help this at all?
Thanks for your time, any advise or questions I should ask the shop will be very helpful.
