[QUOTE="Chris, post: 424083, member: 1"] If you're going for the stock wheel size, you'll want a 17x8.5" wheel with 5.2" backspacing. For a 33, you could either go with a 285/75R17 (the metric equivalent), or a 33x12.5R17. With that setup you won't have any rubbing issues, your tires will fit almost perfectly within the fender fender flares (they'll still out just slightly, but not much), etc. The important part here is the 5.2" backspacing. In the Jeep world we don't really use the term offset, as most Jeep wheels will use the term backspacing instead. [/QUOTE]
