More questions from a new owner

Multipart question, I am wanting to do 33 Mickey Thompson Baja boss A/T tires on my Sahara with rubicon take off suspension. Rubi take offs will be coming from a 24 rubicon X 4 door. So I know that info is needed because of the weight difference with certain packages and the X's now have all the packages. Besides the Mopar LCA people have said to get to pair with it, is there anything else I would need? The tires I am looking at were 285/70 R17. The load was listed as SL, and the forums all seem to say go for higher load range. I plan on using this as my daily, 99% on the road and just starting to try off roading on easy to moderate trails as time progresses, maybe 1-5 times a year. Should I ignore the those and get the 33/ 12.5 R17 instead in D or E range? For the wheels, it has different offsets I can choose from. There is 17x8.5 in -10mm, 17x8.5 in 18mm, and 17x9 in -38 mm. I have a rough understanding of offset not enough to know what looks and works best. I like the look of the wheels just a little outside of fender flares, but not too much otherwise to me it just looks off. This is mainly for looks as I am using it as my daily 99% of the time, but I do want to try off roading and would be staying at a fairly easy level because I don't want to turn my DD into more of an off roader than the city daily that it is.

Smoked lights. What are your thoughts and preferred methods on doing this? I see shops that can do it, I see do it yourself kits online, and brand new lights that come already smoked.

Thank you again for any help. I am 100% new to doing anything to a vehicle, I finally got a vehicle I want so I want to be able to start making it my own and care for it more than just a vehicle I need to get places.
