Default Backspacing question

Im ordering a set of wheels and tire for my 95 xj today. Im looking at pro comp street lock steelies 15x8 with 33x12.5x15 mtrs with kevlar. My jeep has an ironrock 4.5 in long arm lift, trimmed fenders,and offroad bumpers. The pro comp wheels only come with 3.75in backspacing for an option. Am i going to have some rub issues? Thanks for responding.

That backspacing will be perfect for your setup.

That's probably the shortest bs you can get for that size rim.

now i guess theyre backordered for 2-3 weeks on the mtr kevlars, they have the km2's in stock but i realy wanted the mtrs. im also getting a better deal on the mtrs 195 vs 215 for the km2's. i realy dont want to wait but i will if the mtr is that much better. what should i do go with the km2's or wait for the goodyears?

I don't have experience myself with either, but I'd personally wait.

Yup...im running the same size lift and tires only with 4" BS on the rim...I took mine out and trashed the fenders thinking I didnt have to trim. If you trim and bump stop right it will be ok, but still pretty close....mtrs for the win. I had a set and they were awesome.

That kinda mkes me lean toward the km2's since i know they run a bit smaller. Im also going to be moved by the end of the month, so it would make the shipping situation easier.
