Default 15x8 w/4.00 backspacing

Can someone post up some pics of some rims with this backspace on their rig? if it has 32's that would be perfect! Thanks.

Also I can't decide between Soft 8's or D windows???

Will 4.00 backspacing stick out less than 3.75?

The smaller the BS measurement , the farther they will stick out.

You mean 215s on 15x7" stock rims?

No... I was embarrassed to even drive the Jeep for that week and half, so no pics were taken.
