what backspace can i get away with

I want to get different tires/wheels for my zj, I hate the stock ones
I have a 94, and I would like to put 2 inch coil spacers and 31 inch tires.
What backspace should I be looking for? I don't mind them sticking out a little, actually I would prefer it to the way it looks now with them tucked up under

4.25 would work well. The stock ones are 5-5.5 I believe

black steelies with 3.75 backspacing seems to be the norm around here.

so did you get different wheels or wheel spacers? I want to get wheel spacers but they are 1.5" spacers. I need to see what someones ZJ looks like with stock wheels, 31x10.5 and 1.5 spacers on a 2" lift.
