I'm looking into some rims and now I have 4.5 lift. I'm planning on getting 33x12.50's but I don't know how to decide on the wheel. What backspacing? Offset? I don't know.

Thatxjguy....nice choice in tires...lol.
i lovem. these wheels and 33's seem to waigh as much as my 235 duratracs and soft8s did. when i did the lift ,tires and wheels, i didn't really seem to loose too much acceleration. its almost like it was off set.
Now i'm sure that the weight difference just "SEEMS" to be the same but damn close.
Now keep in mind that my ride is just a snow and mall crawler. so i like my rims to stay nice. but she rides great and still handles the curves like stock. best 102. bucks a rim i ever spent.

wheel width has a lot to do with it, not just backspacing guys, might be nice to post that info too...
backspacing is the distance from the wheel mounting surface to the inner bead.
if you get a wider wheel, the width all goes towards the outer bead.
for example a 10" wide wheel will have the tire stick out an inch further than an 8" wide wheel with the same backspacing.
