wheel spacers
On my 91 I wanted that aggressive look after I put a 3" lift on it. I like when the tires stick out the sides about 2 inches. I've found sine wheels that are 10" wide with a 4" backspace. The tires I'm looking at are 31x10.5 The How big (if any) would I need the spacers to be to achieve the look?

You won't fit those 10.5" tires on 10" rims. Get some 8".
This has ben covered literally thousands of times. You'll find many pictures in many threads, go look.
Are you running factory flares still? If so you aren't going to see the tires sticking out unless your rim is so dished you change the hub bearigs weekly.

dont get 15x10's unless you plan to run a wider tire than 12.5.
This is what you need to get that look, 15x8 with 3.75 backspace. Youll want to avoid spacers in possible, if you dont wheel hard there okay, but Ive heard of them snapping and suchhttp://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-85-5865/overview/
But you can fit 10.5 on a 10" rim.

Well what do you guys think about rugged ridge or alloy USA? The other brand I'm liking is eibach but it's quite a bit more expensive. Suggestions?

Yeah see, that what Ive heard. I dont know how hard the OP pushes his jeep, but the places I make mine go, I'd be to afraid to run them, plus a quality set is going to run about a 100 a pair, at least thats how much they wouldve been for my jetta(where more hooror stories i here come from). At that price, you can get some steel D windows that have more backspacing

I don't run it too hard. I just use my jeep to get to my fishing spot. Bit bumpy dirt road but it's a trail the whole way.

Yea those are the same I was looking at but they are much cheaper on your site. I was using autopartswarehouse.com and the were 98 a pair. But would those give me the look I want? And would I still need new wheels or would the stock be fine?
