Default 3.75" back spacing 30 inch tire

Hey guys I'm looking for pictures or rims with 3.75" backspaceing and 30x9.5r15. I want my tires to stick out a little to make the stance look nicer bc right now, it looks like crap. So I was wondering how far my tires would stick out if their only 9.5" wide?

Do you have a lift or do any offroading?

I have about a 3.5” lift, and I do some mild off roading, that’s why I was afraid to go with wheel spacers, I’d be afraid of snapping lug studs

How wide are the wheels you want? 3.75 backspace on an 8" wide wheel is going to stick out further than 3.75 on a 7" wide wheel. Also I have ran wheel spacers on my 7,500 lb truck for over a year and I have towed, hauled, and taken it off road without a single issue, 95% of wheel spacer failures are caused by improper installation or not using the right spacer.

I wanted 15x8” wheels, and I know, but I figured for the same price for wheel spacers I could get the look I wanted too.

30s are a little too small for a 3.5 inch lift aren't they?

yeah, but at the time I had a stock xj and a tight budget, since the tires are practically brand new I figured I’d keep them on for a little while longer until I can afford bigger ones
