I'm trying to decide on a tire wheel combo that will fit my lift but not "poke" out a ton.

I’ve ordered a 4.5” Evo Enforcer Overland kit which calls for a wheel with a 5” or less backspacing. I’m looking to order the Fuel Zephyr in 17x9 with 5” backspacing, +1 offset. I plan to pair them with the Patagonia MT in 38x12.50x17r. I’m hoping this combo will give me minimum “poke” while still fitting on this lift. I honestly was leaning toward the 38x13.50x17r but was concerned about possible clearance/tire poke. Anyone running this (or another rim) in 17x9 with 5” backspacing/+1 offset that can give me feedback or a pic of how the wheel fits?

You can run the -12 spec on those wheels and get 4.5” of backspace. I know you’re trying to achieve a tucked in look from your post but I would rather have the extra clearance than playing is so close.

. This will stick out a good bit and may not fit well
