What tire size with these wheels? - Help Please!
I'm thinking about buying a set of Walker Evans wheels. They come with different back space; which one of the following will better fit my Jeep? Also, I'm putting 35s on them; which tire width should I get? My Jeep is an automatic/2drs daily drive Jeep.
Size Back Space
17x8 1/2 5x4 1/2 3 3/4"
17x8 1/2 5x4 1/2 4"
17x8 1/2 5x4 1/2 4 1/4"
17x8 1/2 5x4 1/2 4 1/2"
17x8 1/2 5x4 1/2 4 3/4"
17x8 1/2 5x4 1/2 5"
Thank you ahead of time for your help!!!

none of those will fit, you need 5x5 on the bolts. The lower the bs the more they will stick out from the jeep. You want at most 4.5" of backspacing to keep a 12.5" wide tire from rubbing. I assume you are doing the street version non bead-lock.
any of these should work:
17x8 1/2 5x5 3 3/4" 3 1/4" Tapered 32-7857337 $325.00
17x8 1/2 5x5 4" 3 1/4" Tapered 32-7857340 $325.00
17x8 1/2 5x5 4 1/4" 3 1/4" Tapered 32-7857342 $325.00
17x8 1/2 5x5 4 1/2" 3 1/4" Tapered 32-7857345 $325.00

Thank you very much for your help!

You can get whatever size tire you want but I was just giving a reference to the fact a 12.5" tire would need 4.5" of bs of less. If you don't mind the width increase I would go with a 4" bs, that way if I ever wanted to run a 13.5" tire I would be covered. You would be 1" wider and If you ever trailer your jeep you will find most trailers are around 80"-81" between fenders.
I will follow your advise and go with 4" just in case I decise to go wider in the future.
