Default tire/wheel recomendations

I'm wondering what you would reccomend for a tire/wheel combo. I live in Maine so I need a good all season tire and rims that won't be destroyed by salt on the roads. I'm lookin for about at 31-32" tire with either 17" or 18" rims. I want to keep a side wall height close to stock, about 7.3", because I've heard of sway problems when a truck is weighted down. Right now I am leaning towards a set of eagle rims series 178 18x9 with some BFG All Terrain T/A KO 285/65R18's I'm not to worried about the 178's 2100lb capacity because I bought the 1-ton for the front end, not to load it up. Any other combos that you reccomend would be great.

They are polished crome... in the winter I do wash my truck every week or two.. would this prevent them from rusting?... I wanted polished because I heard bad stories of aluminum pitting from salt
