Default Lift and Tire question..... :/

Simple question, could not find it in the search bar () ...

The tires Im looking at getting with my 4.5" kit are Nitto Dune Grapplers.

1. Im not getting different tires.

2. Will the 33x12.50's fit? They're overall diameter is 32.48".
-If they wont fit or have rubbing issue's is there something else I can do to make them fit without cutting the body in any way shape of form.

If not, then I will have to move down to a 31" tire. What would be the best backspacing for a 31x10.50 Tire? I want it to stick out, not to far, but just enough.

Thanks.

And if you would be so kind to post a picture of a 4.5" kit with a 31" tire.

If 33s wouldn't fit why not go 32s? Why skip all the way down to 31s? Just a question. My 33s fit without fender trimming, but I trimmed my fenders anyways. I have the RE kit though, not sure about the RC kit.
