alright so, today i bought some tires from a friend, a set of five 32x11.5x15 BFGoodrich A/T KOs for $300. Does anyone know what backspacing I need for these to fit? im running a 3.5 RE superride, i know the biggest tires they recommend for that kit is 31s so i figured I'll get some 3/4" coil spacers up front and shackle kit in the back if needed.

3.75 - 400 I think......can't remember right off the top of my head....I went with Cragar soft 8's....and got em from summit...for my xj...and am very pleased with them.....no rubbing...don't stick out too far or too little...and they were very inexpensive KEWL
Hope this helps.....oh....I'm runnin 31x10.50's on 3" RC.....if yer lift is new...you have alot more lift than I do.....

yea, i think its either 3.75 or 4.00 but im not sure which. my friend that i buoght these fromm actually had some soft 8s mounted to them but they're off his ZJ so the stupid bolt patterns are different. ive been checkin summitracing out for a while, i feel like everyone has the soft 8s so i might go with the v-5s.
