It is time for a new wheel/tire setup, I'm planning to go with a 32x11.5 tire and some bushwacker flat flares. My current setup sticks past the stock flares by maybe an inch, I'd like to keep that stance with the new tires and flares. I found some cheap wheel options with 3.38" and 3.75" of backspacing, if I could do away with the spacers that would be ideal. Does anyone know of a good setup to keep the tires past the flares without loosing too much flex?

Current setup to the best of my knowledge is: 31x10.50 on a 15x8 with 4.25" backspacing + a spacer with roughly 3" of lift.

If anyone has pictures of their jeep with the flat flares I'd love to see them to get an idea of how various setups would work.

 

3.75 back spacing. 33x12.5 on 15x8. 5” of lift with a ton of bump stop.

 

3.75 for sure.

 

Do you think the 3.38 would stick out too far? I'd like a little stick out but not anything crazy.

 

Love the rig, looks great

 

I had 32x11.50’s before the 33’s. The tread of the tire was completely covered by the flares. The sidewall was slightly outside the flare. I installed the flares when running the 32’s with the intention of going to 33’s. The tread now is about 1” outside the flare. That’s with Maxxis Razr’s.
