Default Help with back spacing on rims

Im looking at some American Eagle rims tomarrow. Thier specs are
15x8
-30mm
3 1/4 bsm
the style of rim is 186.
Can anybody tell me if this is a good fitting for my 88xj?
I plan on a RE 4 1/2 super ride lift, and 31" MT to go with it.

I am hoping these will do nicely
let me know

3.25" is quite a bit more than stock. Youll wear on your ball joints more than stock and have a wider stance.

It'll prolly look ok with 31s but Id run a 4" on your set-up. Less stress and more than enough to get the tire off the LCAs.

4" inches will stick out enough. Here's mine with 15x8 cragers 4"BS
And no fender flares:
