So I installed my 3" lift yesterday (Rough Country), and I want to have my tires stick out more, like 2 inches I need offset wheels with back spacing and I was wondering if anyone could send me a link to some that I could buy, I just want steelies. If anyone can help me out that would be awesome!!!

Hmm search just 15x8 or 15x10 black steel rims (guessing u want black) then look for your bs (backspacing) I have 3.75 and they look like those pics, if you want them to stick out wider you would want a smaller number so if I were you I'd do 3" or even 2.75" bs. DO NOT do wheel spacers , there bad if your gonna wheel it and I witnessed my buddies tire come off while driving with them on ,

Look at procomp wheels. The black d window ones. They're pretty cheap and will stick out more

How many inches would my tire stick out with 15x8 and 15x10?

I just want a set of steel wheels that stick out 2-3 inches from my body.

I'm assuming your going with 31x10.50x15. You'll want 15x8. Check out quadratec.com. They they can get you in the right direction.

Not any diff just for a wider tire backspacing makes it stick out like I said look for 3inch or 2.5-2.75 backspacing , that will give u what u want

Thats what I'll want eventually, but right now i have 235/75/15 and I'll probably keep them until Jan, or Feb. I'm need 15x8 but I don't know what back spacing to get for them to stick out 2" from the body...

What about this? Will this fit my jeep with 235/75/15 and if I eventually go up to 31x10.50x15 will it fit that also?

Do a little wheel arithmatic. Stock is 15X7, 5.25" backspace. If the backspace was 3.25", they would stick out 2" farther on each side.
