Those are 4.75". With a quick search, that's as close as I found. They also come in 4", which is what I run with 33x12.50's.

No problems with my 4" backspaced AR767s, and I've got 32x11.50 on those as well. Any particular reason given for the 4.5" request?

When I was running rims with 4.5" BS, I shopped and found a wheel company that would make steel modular rims with a custom BS. I ran a couple sets of those rims, custom ordered each time. It was too long ago to remember what company it was, but you could ask around.
For running that tires size and wanting them to stuff good with minimal trimming the 4.5" BS is ideal.

Discount Tire sells steel wheels. I can't remember the brand name, but I think it is Unique.

Seems like every post I saw said 4.5" backspacing was "best" for 32x11.5 but, if you aren't finding a problem at 4" then they would most likely work for me.
I'm looking at going to 4.5 " lift (a mix of RE / Teraflex and OME) I want to leave the fenders in the stock location (I don't mind triming and bumpstopping) because I plan to switch to my 31" AT's for street use, and the Mud Terrains when I need them.

Sounds similar to what I'm already running - the only fender trim was to clearance the front edge of the front wheelwells.
Makes me wonder if I was one who said "4.5" BS is best" earlier?

I figured on folding the pinch seam in back, and removing the front edge up to about bumper height. Sounds like that'll work fine then. Mainly, I don't want to relocate flares (looks dorky when I 'm running 31's) and I don't want to give up articulation.

Might have been? I've been accumulating parts and favors for a while on this inch of growth - it's going to be expensive. . . Rims with 4" backspacing are easy to find and pretty cheap used. No big deal if it was. . .
