Default Will these wheels work

Hey guys I'm looking to do a 3 inch lift soon and don't want any rubbing of the tires on the control arms. I'll be going with 31x10.50 Duratracs. Will these wheels work. They are 15x8 with 4.5 inch backspacing.

I think you might get some rub with that much backspace. Not really sure. Do some measuring.

That's a lot of backspacing. I'd go with 3.75 - 4" at the most.

So one person says YES and another isn't sure. Does anyone know of a person running 4.5 inch backspacing without issues. I'm hoping to change out the lower control arms also with the hope that a tubular design will give me a little more room. Any thoughts?

They will rub the control arms a little. I have TJ Canyons that are 15x8 with 4.5" of backspacing and with BFG AT 31x10.5 they DO rub a little at full steering lock.

I might be wrong but I didn't think any factory wheel was less than 5 inches.

I use the Ravine wheels which are 5.5". With a 1" spacer they do not rub or cause issues. Lifted 4.5"

I was incorrect, TJ canyons have 5.5" backspacing. So 4.5" backspacing should be ok.
