Default Wheel and tire question!

I’m shopping around for wheels and tires. Found a set of 17x9 wheel with 5x4.5” bolt pattern on 315/70/17. If I use a wheel spacer to convert the stock JK bolt pattern to this 5x4.5”...

how much will the tires hang outside of the fenders?

Anyone else do this exact set up with pics??

Thanks!

That will be equivalant to 3" of backspacing....so my guess is you will hang out about 3" outside the fender.
