Default Help, stuck between these 2 wheels

Just some input from you guys
I am stuck between these 2 wheels the pro comp are 17x8 4.5 backspace 0 offset
and the ultra wheels are 17x8 4 7/8 backspace offset is 10.
Ihe tires I am putting on are the Cooper ST in 275 70 17 (32.2x11.3x17)
Would either wheel work?

What color is your Jeep? If you like a blacked out look go with the first one but personally I like the second for a little bit of accent.

If you are taking them off road the 2nd one will show fewer scratches from a distance, plus fewer large spokes have bolder and stronger look.

I would go with the top one. I prefer wheels with a wide lip on them.

I'd go for 4.5" backspacing as opposed to 4 7/8".
