Default Bushwacker pocket flares

Considering these flares since i loved them on the TJ, just wondering if anyones stuck them on with 12.5' wide tyres and a 4.75BS wheel? Just wanted to know how much the flares go past the tyres?

I'm running 16x8's with 4" backspacing and 285/75 R16's. There is probably about a good inch or two before the very edge of the guard. So I imagine that with 4.75" BS you will have a bit of overhang. The overhang is just noticable with mine, but then again, my tyres aren't 12.5" wide. I'd go 4" BS with 12.5" tyres.

Attached a photo. If you look at the rear tyre you can get an idea of how far in it sits.
