Tires and backspacing.. what a joy

I am getting a 4.5 inch rustys lift, and going to run 32x11.5 MT's, but i was wondering what backspacing i should get so i can still be legal in Utah with my factory fender Flares? I have heard 4.5, but with 4.5 will it rub? I am just confused. Thanks!

i'd say 4 inch should be just fine in your case.

With 3" lift, you'll definitely have some rubbing... Go with 4" lift so you can run it with no worries...
