Had 33x12.5/15 Durtracs installed on Chaos 5 wheels with 3.75 backspacing.
Love the set up but with the wheels now sticking out past the flares so much there is a lot of mud on the side of the JK just from going the mile dirt road to my house.
Something to consider if you are considering this set up.

I have MB72's and have for about 10th months now. The clear coat is peeling off everywhere and they look like total ass. I would take the extra weight of steel wheels next time. I also have a flat spot in one of mine that causes a wobble its now my spare. I liked them at first but not now. Pay less and get steel like I should have

Not sure what pressure to run yet

I've touched up a few wheels over the years after beating them up on the trail and it doesn't usually take much to get them to look good again if you stay on top of it. (especially if its only one color) If you drive like I do, you get pretty good at touching them up.
