I have been doing research for the past couple hours on what rim and backspacing combo will keep my jeep legal with the use of Bushwacker's flat style flares. I live in Utah, so tire coverage laws are pretty strict. So before i buy i would like to see what you guys think. What i am looking at is a 15x8 rim with 3.75 backspacing, and some 33x12.50's. Will the backspacing of 3.75 inches be enough to keep the 12.50's tread covered by the bushwackers? Any help is very much appreciated! thanks!

Well I have dick cepeks on mine with a 4.5 back spacing with 33/12.50/15s. They only stick out at most 3 inches passed stock flare. So by losing 3/4 of an inch in back spacing and having the wider flares on there on there it should cover fine. Good luck man
