Default Need help with Rock Crawler Rim sizes - PLEASE

I have JK about to turn up and want to buy some Rock Crawler 17x8 type 52 steelies

They come in a 4.25 backspace or a 4.75 backspace - I want run 33's on them

Which one out of the two above will place the tyre level with the stock flares?

I don't mind if they sit out a little bit - half inch but don't want them hanging right out

Can anyone who has one of these sizes please post a pic?

Thanks

4.25 should be fine.

Do you want the wheels to be level with the flares or the tires to be level with the flares?
