If you are getting tires with a rim size of 16" do NOT get a wheel with 3.5" backspacing unless you want your tires sticking a couple inches out from the fender flares. Do 4.5" backspacing if you are going to do 12.5" or 13.5" wide tires.

I love the look of the tires sticking out from under the fenders. That is really what I am wanting. I really want IROKS but they dont make a 33" tire for a 16" rim ugh!

Most lift mfg's recommend a 4.50 or less BS for 35/12.50 tires. For a 13.50 width on a 33, 4.50 should be ok. But personally, I'd go down around 4 BS just to be safe. (and because I like em sticking out a bit...)
