Wheel backspacing.
What wheel backspacing do I need for a 4.5in RC lift? I'm looking in the directions and it says 3.75 but on their website it says 4.5.

What size tires you gonna run? For 31's, you need at least 4 inch BS. For 32's, I know 3.5 is good, and 3.75 will prolly work.

Section width on the 32s is 10.6. I may want to get 33s with a section width of ~12in after these tires wear out. Who knows. I want these wheels to work though with either lol.

Have you thought about running 4 inches of BS on a 15x8 inch rim. That should work for your 265/75s, or 285/75s, or for a 10.5 width tire, and it will also work for a 33x12.5 if you decide to go that wide later.
