wheel for 95 explorer to run 31x10.5x15" tires?

hi, trying to fit some 31x10.5x15 tires on my 95 explorer. i tried putting them on some rims i had from another project because the rims it came with are junk, but they stick out a couple inches and rub a bit, biggest problem is rocks on dirt roads. these are the wheels with a -19mm offset

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0D1S7934Z?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

question is, can i buy some inexpensive steel wheels (under $100 a piece hopefully) that will have a backspacing that will fit the 31's without rubbing and without a huge stick out?

Running 31's on an explorer with a 5r55 transmission is not a good idea, it will leave you walking..
