Wheel bacspace and tire setup thread
First off, this was TheCK4x4's idea.
There has been alot of threads going around about wheel backspacing and tire setups. So lets post pictures with wheel diameter, width and backspace along with the tire specs. I think it would be benefitial (just like the lift/tire setup thread) to members in deciding what wheel/tire combo they want.

Lol I don't see how the pics you guys are posting are suppose to help anyone.
My setup 32x11.5r15 BFG KM2s with pro comp d windows 15x4.5 with 4.5" backspacing
Only the treads on the front tires stick out about 1":
Just to give an idea of the look:
The tires stuff very nicely only very minimal trimming is required:

I posted in the other thread but I'll put some pics here for you. These are Crager Soft 8 15x10 w/ 4" bs. Yes 4", someone in the other thread tried to tell me different, I built it I know what's on it!
Ignore the wrinkled up fenders, they have been trimmed and fixed plus 2" more lift added since these pictures.
12.5x15x33 Super Swampers:
10.5x15x32 BFG A/T's:
(On edit): I found this picture after the lift and trim, can't tell much about the tire position here:

I know this is an old thread but I think it is worthy of revival.
I'm seeking this combo: Bushwacker Flatties, 35x12.50 on 15x8 -- not sure on what backspacing I might need for this combo. Would 3.75 be too much for the flatties or just right?

I was actually thinking about posting a thread on this soon so I'm glad this came up.
I have 33x12.5R15s on Cragar D windows (4" backspacing I believe) with 1.25" wheel spacers on my Dana 30. And I'm at about 4" of lift.
I want to find a wheel that I can use that'll allow me to get rid of the wheel spacers and not rub on the lower control arms. Is this possible? There a wheel out there that'll allow it?

Do the flatties have the same width as the regular cut outs? I know with the regular cut outs, 3.75 is right along the edge of the tread. It should be OK, but 4" would be safer if you are trying to maintain full tread coverage.

But at 4inches of lift I would think you don't have stock lca's either.

Nope not stock LCAs. I was researching all night last night and I decided that I'm gunna end up going with your same size wheel and figured I would be good that way. Thanks man
