Hey guys I've tried the searches but couldn't really find my answer, my 01 cherokee has a 4.5 lift I just sold my 31x1050x15 TSL and am looking to install 32x1150x15 cooper stt with these wheels http://www.jcwhitney.com/series-1069...29d1163y2001j4 will the 3.75 backspace make the tires stick out to far pass my stock flares, I do very little wheeling... anybody out there running 32" with 3.75 BS would you post your pics... I'm pretty sure its been asked before,

 

The 15x8 rim with a 11.50 tire width should not stick out to far. I am running 33x12.50s on a 15x10 rim with 3.75 back spacing and they do stick a little to far. Makes it easy for my hungry fenders to chew on some rubber when flexing the suspension. A 15x8 with 4 inch back spacing would be more prefered, that's what I will be going with when the time comes to buy my next set of tires.

 

Thanks for the info, I had my mind made up, ready to put my order in, only to start second guessing myself, anybody else with some input

 

3.75" bs should keep you from rubbing the LCA's at full steer.
Here's a pic of 30x9.50 on 3.75" bs -

 

That Is the same set up I have, just different rims, same BS tho. They don't stick out to far..... But they did rub on my 97 so I did a little trimming on the stock fenders and I'm going to get spacers, but I do a lot of wheeling so trimming might just work for you.

 

i'm running 5ish lift and 31" swampers on stock 15x8 wrangler wheels they measure like 4.5in backspace and it is too much they hit my lower control arms... build pic but here:

 

Thanks for all the help Guys, but i just pickup a set of moabs including the spare off of craigslist.. but now I have a new question the 245/75-16 look way to small with my 4.5 lift. Ive seen some cooper stt 31/1050-16, but I really want something closer to a 32" tire any suggestions?
Once again thanks alot for your replys on my previous questions....

 

I went with 33x10.50x15 BFG KM2s on 8X15 Xtream alloys w/ 3.75 BS. Needed to cut 1" off rear end of front flair. Sticks out about 1" past flair. 12.50"s should stick out about an inch more with more cutting. Its a 94 XJ with a 4.5"lift.

 

Bigger tires may look good but right now you've got room for some serious flexing. Take it to the trail, disconnect the sways, and let 'er rip!

 

same issue i have i just ordered 32x11.50 15s for mine i went with hankook dynapro rt03 m/t's i would highly recommed then in a 265/70-16 i think....

 

Maybe try LT265/75R16 that equivalates to 32x10.50 which shouldnt rub. check out mickey thomsons website, BAJA ATZ's it shows what sizes equivalate to
