Default rugged ridge hurricane flats & wheel/ tire combo question

Having a set of the RR hurricanes put on my 07 Rubicon unlimited, which has a 3.5 " lift. I am going to replace the pimp wheels/ tires (were on it when I got it) with a 16x8.5" wheel with 4.5" backspace wrapped in a 315/75r16 mud tire. I want the tire to stick out slightly from the fender, maybe about an inch. I live in a state that does not have fender coverage laws. Have I guesstimated about right? Does anybody have a similar set up? Pictures would be great.
I assume I will not have any clearance issues.

I would like to see the same, I have a 3.5 in lift with 35/12.5 17 with 4.5 back spacing. I want to get these fenders but Im afraid they will make my tires look small

Same wheel and tire as you want 4" backspace and it puts it about 1 1/2 to 2" past the fender

Jeep looks good, what lift do you have?
