Default Tire and rim question

So im planning on buying
Level 8 tracker rims
(17x8.5 / 6-135mm / + 12 offset / 5.22" backspacing)
Can anyone tell me what its going to look like with that amount of back spacing and offset?
I was planning on getting a set of
Nitto Trail Grapplers
(285/70-17).
Will these tires be sticking out my fender much? If so can i get an estimate of how much?

Center line is 4.25 and backspace is 5.22 so its a positive offset of .97

So it would actually be closer to your fender and not stick out at all.

Those wheel's will stick out about 1-1/4 inches more then stock not counting the tires. Ought to look good with those tires.

These pics were from my '04 with 295x70x17 Toyo MT's on 17x9 wheels with 5 inches of BS sticking out 2 inches more then stock. Your setup should be 3/4's of an inch less.
