i'm going to order some rims in the next week or so and i'm wondering what you would recommend for backspacing. i'm putting a 3 inch suspension and 31's on my jeep.

i'm new so dont eat me up too bad.

you can run 31s on stock wheels, with a 3" lift and no rubbing with no trimming. thats what I have on my XJ right now.

anything between 3.75 - 4.5" of backspacing should be good even if you decide to go a little bigger in the future. I'd go with 15 x 8's though if you're going to run a 10.5 inch wide tire.

I have a 3.5 RE lift and had 31's put on the stock rims and they rubbed. I just ordered a set of 8 inch rims from Discount Tire and they are fine, they also showed up in less than 24 hours.
