Default tire opinions with these black steelies

Have Stock Unlimited X, what black wheels and 33's.

Here is the look of wheel I want, are these a descent brand?

As far as tires I want AT's, but may opt for some off roaders if they are more on the highway friendly side. With the 5" backspacing on the wheels above what would you recommend as far as tires? How much would they stick out from the fender?

Thinking about these at 33x12.50R16 width 12.4, but not sure about the rub with no lift:

yep they carry procomp. Their website is a mess, wont allow you to click on their procomp wheels. I got 16X8 soft 8s with a 4.2 bs to match up with the tires. Best tire outfit ive dealt with. Had tried a PNW tire outfit and the guy tried to sell me a blingy 20" wheel He asked me why I wanted to 'downgrade' from my 18s Id call DT and see what they can do for ya

I've never seen twinkies or bigger on a jeep that I liked. The most disgusting thing I've seen was a lowered TJ with 14's and skinny tires. It couldn't go over a curb. I will call DT tomorrow thanks!

Anyhow, I'm still noobish on the tire width and backspacing etc...
If I get a 16x8 wheel then how wide can I go with the tire?
And how expensive is it to increase the backspacing if I want the wheel to stick out alittle more?

I wouldnt go any wider than 12.50 with an 8" rim. As far as $$, it shouldnt be any more for diff backspacing. To my knowledge diameter and with are the only thin that should change price. hope that helps out and good luck!
