Default Tire size and rim offset question

First off im new to this fourm and jeeps. My phone isnt letting me search the fourms for some reason so i appolgize in advance if this is already covered. I have a 95 grand Cherokee with a 3 1/2 in rough country lift and 31x10.50's tires. Im adding another 3inches of lift and getting new rims. I want to get the biggest tire I can clear. I want 35's but I dont think thats possible. So im thinking 33x12.50's. From some research I've done it seems to put 12.50's on, aftermarket wheels is a must. My question is what offset will I need to run those?

I may not even be using the correct terminology when I say offset. I dont know alot about wheels. The ones im looking at have a 3.75 backspace. Will these work?

Here is what 15" and 3.75 back spacing looks like. Running 32-11.50-15s with a Rough Country 4" long arm lift.

3.75 and 8" wide will work perfectly for you.
