3.75 is going to stick out a lot, 4.5 would tuck under nice, what is the current back spacing you have now? will 4.5 rub? do you know?

if you go 10.5 wide get 4.5 back spacing. for 12.5 anywhere from 4 to 3.75 i think would do, Someone will pipe in to help you if you are seeking 12.5 wide.
I think you could get away with 4.5 to tuck the tires under, and not rub too much??
as far as a TJ goes: 4.5" is the absolute maximum for a 12.5" wide tire and that usually needs a washer or two on the steering stop bolts to eliminate a little bit of rub when the steering wheel is turned all the way left or right

my wheels are 15x8 with 33-12.5-15 with 4.5" of back spacing, with the TJ sahara flares, my tires are almost all covered.

So....what did you order for backspacing, and are they 15x8's or 15x10's? Whenever I see those tire package combos, they always list 15x10's for a 33x12.5" tire.
