I'd get the fender flares first, and then worry about rims. Then you can get rims with the correct width and offset.

imagine the letter I. Its like a cut away of a rim. the offset is where the vertical part is in between the outer band. you can have this moved to make the wheel tuck in closer to your car, or away from it. most of the time its not a big deal, but if your going wider, thats when it comes into play.
