OP: You did excellent homework.
Suggest:
1. Michelin XPS Ribs in the size you stated.
2. *If* you feel you don't have adequate clearance between tires & shocks (appears to be a bit more than 1/4 inch which is "tight") - move the shocks further inboard, which is no big deal.
Sometimes the fender supports are easily bent to provide clearance.
Wheels - supplier not important. Wheels = Alcoa.
Buy and try *one* - with the caveat....for "test purposes" (no on-the-road time) - if it doesn't provide the clearance you want, the tire & wheel are "returnable".
