Wheel / Tire Advice Please
 
I've got a 4 door X. I've ordered the full traction 2 in. bb and have Rubicon shocks and springs to install with the boost.

Here's the deal, I can get a good deal on MT Baja Claw Tires, 33x12.5R17. If I get these tires, what size Crager D-window wheels will fit? I look at all the numbers and get confused rather quickly! For instance, there's 17x9, 5x5.5in bolt circle with 5 in backspace, or 17x8, 5x5in bolt circle with 4.5 in backspace......

If I can find the right sized cragers ( I must have the d-windows), does this sound like a good wheel/tire combo? Rockcrawling is OK, but I really like bouncing over whoop-de-dos on dirt trails and flying through mud!

Thanks for any advice.

You want 17x8 5x5 Bolt with 4.5

The 5 inch bolt circle spacing is very key. That spacing is what decides if it will even fit on your JK's lugs or not. A 5.5 inch bolt circle will be too far spaced out to fit.
Any wheel that ISN'T a 5 bolt by 5" circle can be ruled out immediately. (Unless you want to use spacers/adaptors.)
