33x12.5's w/ 4.5 BS?

Hey I was wondering if I could fit 12.5" tires on wheels with 4.5" backspacing or will they rub? Thanks.

Both 11.50 and 12.50 will fit fine.

12.50 is the max width you can run with 4.5" backspaced wheels on a TJ.

12.50 is the max width with minimal rubbing.

You'll have slight rubbing on the lower control arms when turning full lock, or you can add a few washers under the steering stops to prevent this.
