Default Wheel question

I am taking receipt of my Wrangler Unlimited in a couple of weeks and I want to start buying some mods for it now. In researching on this site about wheels it looks like I need to go to a wheel with a 4.5" backspacing for 33" x 12.5" tires. Does anyone know what an acceptable wheel offset is? It looks like most of the Pro-comp wheels have a 4.5" backspace with a 0mm offset. The wheels I am looking at have a 4.5" backspace with a -6mm offset. I am wondering if they would be ok?

procomps will work fine. Good luck finding a set.

to fit the larger wheels the correct offset would be -6 they stick a little outside the fender but not much.
