Need more input.
Can't just tell you a blanket offset that works.

I know it was very vague of a question. I'm sorry for that. I was only looking for a generalized size... a starting point if you will. I would like to use as close to factory size rims as I can get, but don't want to use wheel spacers, and still be able to run at least a 255/75/17. I know there is not a blanket size that works for all. I did not see that thread or I just overlooked it. 
I just don't want to make a costly mistake and waste money on rims I can't use. I appreciate all the help.

Best way to avoid a mistake would be factory/factory spec rims with good spacers. IMO
Anything else has multiple variables that very few have tried

A 255/75/17 is a 32.. And will fit with a spacer and factory wheels.

But he does not want spacers so about 4.5 inch backspacing with any offset should work. Since that is basically spacer equivalent.

What's so bad about the stock pattern? Aside from it being so odd-ball?

Odd ball = crap for wheel options

it can be hard to find wheels in our pattern with enough offset to run the larger tires at a reasonable price.

The link (for us) goes to the beginning of a search. Perhaps you had a display at the end. When I punched in 2004 GMC Envoy, it showed zero options. I concluded it was a was a front end for a flawed data base, and that was your intent. To show the paucity of options out there.

I put the options in for my trailblazer and it gave me like 3 different options. 
The problem with the Trailblazer is, people think you know what you're doing.
