Default what tires and wheels should I get for my lift kit?

I'm having the local shop put that rough country 2-1/2 inch lift kit on my 99 Jimmy 4x4(same truck as a 99 Blazer). Does somebody here have a link to a good custom aluminum wheel (I prefer a black wheel) that would be a proper fit once the lift kit is installed? I imagine the new wheels will have to have a smaller backspacing then my factory wheels, cause a lot of rough country reviewers say that the factory wheels will rub the lift kits control arms when turning the steering wheel full turn left or right. I'm not looking for monster sized wheels and tires at all, just something that will fit right and accept a 30 inch diameter tire and won't rub the lift kits control arms when turning the steering wheel. And how about tire suggestions? I want 29-1/2 to 30 inch diameter tires...I don't want 31 inchers,cause I want to be sure they won't rub the wheelwell… not monster tread offroad tires, I just want good multi purpose tires. Seems better to ask you guys then searching forever online, thnx
