Wheel and Tire for 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

Hello,

I'm wondering which of the following Pro Comp wheels would be better with Nitto Terra Grappler LT 305/70R17 E125R tires (Nitto website reccommends 8.0-(9.0)-9.5 wheels. Not sure why the 9.0 is in parenthesis? Maybe min-(recommended)-max?)

Pro Comps:
17x8 with 4.5" BS 0mm offset (7005-7873)
or
17x9 with 4.75" BS -6mm offset (7005-7973)

I put the AEV 2" Spacer Kit on my 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport, which the AEV website indicates the kit will accomodate 33"-34" tires, so I would like to go with the aforementioned 33.8" tires.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jeep fans

The first one. Less backspacing is better. Also take a look at other tires too unless you are set on nittos. They are amongst the heaviest tires so you will see the most power loss with them. The falken wild peak has basically the same tread for cheaper and less weight too

Falken Wild Peak. Right on, I'll chek em out. Thank you much.

OK, so I understand that 2013 factory JK wheels are 17 x 7.5 with BS of 6.25.

What I'm interested in is a little more lift. If I run LT285/75R17 (33.83 x 11.22) on factory wheels with 1.75" Spidertrax wheel spacers, I'm thinking this should work without issues and save me the cost of having to buy wheels. What you think?

. Thanks

OK, last question as I'm sure people have beat to death wheel and tire issues lol.

I ordered the ProComp 7105-7873s (17x8). I'm going with a Falken Wildpeak AT tire and noticed there are two eye catching sizes. The 315/70R17 will fit just fine, but I'm wondering if the 325/70R17 will fit safely? I would rather go with the 325s, but only if it's safe on highway as I set cruise at 70 MPH. Will that 0.4" larger width and 0.56" height make or break it? Falken recommends the latter tires on greater than or equal to 8.5" width wheel. Is the ProComp wheel I selected only rated for 8"? I can't find any info on tire with range for that wheel. Thanks much
