Default What wheel back spacing do I need? Please help

I'm putting a teraflex leveling kit on my 2012 JK and was wondering if I could get some advice on what back spacing I need if I get AEV pintler wheels? I'm going to use 33x12.50x17 for the tires. I noticed the typical back spacing for these wheels is 4.7" but I also noticed they have 5.3" back spacing as well. Not sure which one I need??

You want the ones for a JK 4.7". The ones with 5.3" bs are for WK/XK.

I really like mine.
