That's a nice-looking wheel Keith!
The 4.5" BS zero offset looks be the way to go for 33s; as far minimal to no fitment issues. Right or wrong, I prefer a hubcentric wheel... I had a couple experiences before with non-hubcentric wheels that has left me willing to limit my list to those with 106mm bores.
Found a few good threads on 35s and this post here currently has my attention:
"I'd say 3" is required for 35's.Like UnderFire said- you'll need to pound the firewall to not rub the firewall- even with a 3" lift- if you ever intend to go off-road.
Most guys with 35's have a 3"+ suspension lift, as well as a 1"+ body lift.
I have the lowest offset wheels possible(tires rub upper control arms when droop or turning), and I still need to tub my firewall to clear off-road. The lowest offset wheels possible gives you the most clearance, as well as keeping bump steer to an absolute minimum. Running spacers will make you rub fenders and firewall much worse.
My wheels are 17x9, et0, 5" backspace.
I would say an 8" wide wheel- with a backspace of 4-4.5" MAX- would give you the least amount of body interference.
My 35" BFG K02 All Terrain tires are pretty stuffed with a 3" lift. No body lift. Yet."

The 17x8.5s with 4.3" BS would seem to be a decent candidate for 35s...
EDIT/ADD: Scrolling-down in that post provided reveals Rockdawg84's impressive 3rd gen, with 35s, and zero lift (suspension or body). pretty neat what he did...
Found this wheel offset calculator:

I used the 8" width and zero offset as the baseline for comparison purposes. An 8.5" width, -10mm offset, makes for 4mm more inside clearance, and 16mm more poke...
