well, i'm running 3 inch backspacing on 10 inch beadlocks and 13.5 wide tires.
mine stick out past the flares a couple inches. i've never touched my flares against a tree.

do you have any pics of the rear of your jeep to see how far they stick out. My claws are 12.5 wide so that should be perfect. Also i want a 15 by 8in rim will the backspacing still push them out to where yours are?

this is the only one i can dig up quick. i'll try to find a better one.
but yeah, you'll probably need 10 inch wide rims with 3-3.25 bs.
an 8 inch rim won't be enough with 12.5 wide tires. you'd need 2 inch bs then and i don't think they are available.
but you could also run 8 inch with 3.75 and a set of spacers, but for the money the spacers will cost, you'd be better off upgrading to a set of 10 inch rims.
