What back spacing do I need to keep the wheels/tires inside flares

[AirborneSilva]

Hi guys, yes I did a search, no I didn't find anything of help. I'm looking for wheels that wont stick out past the fender flares, just don't like the look and don't want rocks thrown up on the jeep. I found a great looking and affordable set on extreme terrain but from the pictures they have the wheels and tires stick out at least 1" or more. I'll be running 35X12.5R17 tires. Sorry I'm not good at all with the back spacing thing so any help would be greatly appreciated so I don't get the wrong wheels. Thank you!

What trim do you have? Axle width will play into that.

Glad you asked the question because I’d also like to know lol

Ok, I'm still confused, not too hard of a task, I found a set of wheels at discount tire that are on sale and would look great on my jeep but am confused as to what their measurement means, it says offset is 10 so I'm not sure what that means as far as back spacing and keeping the wheel/tire under the fenders. Here's the link if anyone is interested. Level 8 Slingshot
