Wheel backspacing
Hello, new to the forum. looks great so far. i did a search and couldn't find anything on backspacing so heres my question. I've got a 90 xj with 4.5 lift. I have 33x12.5x15 tires and i would like to know the best backspacing. I am ordering the Cragar soft 8s and I'm a little confused on the right set up. I want to go with a 15x8 wheel. Thanks for any help offered.

Thanks for all of the input. With the information i was going to go middle of the road and go 3.75, but when i went to order them they said 4.00 was as low as they go in the cragar soft 8's which is really what i wanted. U.S steel wheels has the mountain crawlers with 3.75 so maybe i will just go with them. decisions decisions.

I also have Crager Soft 8s with 4" of backspacing. I only have 31s but think I could get away with 32s if I wanted them. Mine came from Summit b/c they have free shipping.
