Its going to vary by wheel size. And first off, the 17x9" and 4.75" BS refers to the wheel itself, has nothing to do with tires. Tire size is also going to vary by manufacturer. BFG KM2's for example have a standard 35x12.5x17, while others such as Goodyear MT/R's have the metric equivalent of 315/70r17. Hope this helps. If you go on tire rack it shows you the exact specs of each tire so that may help you understand the sizes. Several vendors on here tho will most likely beat tire rack prices tho

315/75 is a fairly common equivalent to a 35/12.50.
But, you are better off using any of the conversion tools found online, or going to any of the tire shops online to check them out. The metric sizes are a percentage of sidewall height to tread width or something like that, not an easy to follow progression like 33"/34"/35". The 315 in the above example is the width, not the height like you would think.
