Just want to verify this before I make an order. Finally picked out my tires after days of meditation and counsel from the highest order of mentors. Decided on STT's. Going to be running either soft 8's or D windows. I normally order wheels off summit. Is there better options? Going to be running 31x10.5x15 for tires and 3.5" of lift and was wondering on the backspacing? 3.50/3.75/4.00 Which one of these would the jeep gods suggest a mere pheasant like myself run?
TLDR; What back spacing is suggested for 31x10.5x15 and 3.5" of lift?

I used to have 3.75 and it looked really good, 3.50 would give a little wider of a stance but I like the way it looks IMO , prob 3.75 would be your best bet

Yes the less backspacing, the further tires will stick out. If you plan on going to a bigger tire in the future, go with 3.75 now. If not, 4 will be fine for you
