Default Quick backspacing question.....

Yes i have been searching but i cant really find what i want. Im about to order my soft 8's but i cant decide whether or not to go with 4" BS or maybe 3.75" BS.

I know a lot of ya'll have gone with 4"BS but i havnt really come across anyone with say 3.75" BS. If ya'll wouldnt mind id love to see some pictures of your wheels with 4" and 3.75" so i can FINALLY make up my mind!! Thanks a lot!!

Honestly .25" isnt going to make much of a difference. It also depends on how wide of a tire you are gonna run.
Heres 3.75" backspacing on 31's:

I was thinkin, if i go with 3.75" BS and take my fender flares off i think that will give me the look/stance im going for.

Does anyone else have pictures that they would like to contribute???
