okay cool! since the offset is 0" will the wheels still be out wide? this one 4x4 shop I went to said -12 will work if you lift the jeep.. i didnt get how offset made a difference for lifts... does anyone have any pics of 0 offset vs -12?

Those should be fine and look good. 4.5" might be better for BS but I think 4.75 should still be okay. I know some lifts recommend 4.5".
Oh, and you can always contact the seller to see if they can get you a 5th wheel too.

Exactly Interceptor, and good point about the tire coverage laws!
If it's a Teraflex, I just looked and they recommend 4.5" for 35's

I'm running 315/75R16 (~35x12.5) on 16x8 wheels with 5" backspacing, on a 2.5" BB with zero rubbing, even a full flex....that's about the least amount of backspacing you can get by with. Most play it a little more conservative and recommend 4.5", to play it safe.

I'm running 35x12.50 KM2's with a TF 2.5" BB and 1.5" Spidertrax spacers. My BS is 3" and I've got no issues... Been running this for about 4 months and love it (35's are recent). It's my DD and has also been on the beach and a decent grade obstacle course a few times.
