Default Tires and wheels

ok i got some money for tires and wheels. this is what im thinking
wheels 17X9 5 on 5 bolt pattern

Tires 33x12.50.17 dick Cepek mud countrys



what do you guys think it will be just over 2 grand for the whole package.

also i had a question about these wheels, the specs say "Backspace 4.53 in." does that mean i dont have to use spacers cause i thought i heard thats about what the spacing should be for our jeeps or am i just confused.

i have xd hoss 17x9 4.5 inches back spacing, 295/70r17 tires(similar size) and i didnt need spacers, and no rubbing, i did put suspension spacers in to raise it up some
it will stick out the wheel well though

I must have got the last ones!!! Hahaha, just kidding, I have 18's. You will like the 4.5" backspacing. I used to run 1.5" spacers before these wheels and they now stick out just a hair more. I really like them.
