So do you think its better off to just go with 18" axis halo rims rather than the ebay 18" te37 replicas?

Go with the 17x9 +42 grids like i did, jut get some 235's and they'll clear. Im in 245's all around and they clear just fine with a roll/tab cut

Do you think that going with a smaller tire than stock just to get some aftermarket wheels to fit is a smart and beneficial suggestion?

I think you need to familiarize yourself with the sizing chart that was linked to you and go from there.

They will fit fine with a basic fender roll. If you don't want to do any fender work then you will need something like +55 offset or higher. It will vary depending on ride height, wheel/tire width, and alignment settings,
