I ordered these wheels in 16x8 with the 4.25" backspacing. The first set that Discount Tire ordered for me rubbed the brake caliper. The second set they ordered rubbed the caliper. We switched to the version with D shaped holes for the third set, and they fit fine.

I was like well why do you sell it???
Yup. My Sahara had 18, but I went down in rim size to 16 and then went up from 33" tires to 35". I like the "meaty" sidewall.

Default 17 x 9 997's
I'm getting the 17x9's. They have 4.5 in backspace. Should be perfect for a 12.5 in wide tire. I think they look sweet. Especially for the price.
