Default Backspacing pic request

After going through countless posts and pics I still can't find what I'm looking for so I'm asking for help. I'm looking for pics straight down the side of jeeps to show backspacing. I can find tons of pics at angles or rear or side but can find any straight down the side to show tire/wheel poke or coverage. My plan is to get 17x8 cragers with 4.5 backspacing and 315/70/17 duratracs but the official law in PA is the sidewall can poke out but the tread has to be covered by the flare and the cops around here can be anal about it. I think it'll stick out some on the stock flares but so small I'm hoping to get away with it. I definitely don't want for the wheel to sit in so far it rubs. Any recommendations?

Can you guys post some straight down the side pics, wheel specs, and tire specs to compare and help me out?

Hello to a fellow member from chambersburg. I will be installing 16 x 8.5" wheels with 315/75/16 cooper stt's next friday. Will be trying to get by on stock flares hoping I don't get harassed. If you haven't bought yet and would like to see in person let me know.
