Wheel/Tire Combo Question
Im sure this exact question has already been asked but I searched and couldnt find a good answer so im sorry in advance.
BUT,
I'm currently running 30x9.5's on these wheels: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/crr-3425812p
15x8
4.75" Backspace
+6 Offset
I am about to install an OME 4" lift and want to run 32x11.5's on them but honestly the whole wheel/tire subject just confuses me and I dont want to have to get spacers or trim or something like that. Can anyone help me out?
Also, any long lasting all terrain suggestions? I do some occasional light wheeling but seeing as i frequently make a 3 hour 1 way trip to college im not trying to replace these in 20K miles. haha
Thanks!

They will probably rub your control arms at full lock, that's a lot of backspacing, only 1" shy of stock.
Hard to beat BFG AT's if the AT is what you want. I would buy BFG MT KM2's over the AT's even running them on the road.

You might have some issues with that much backspacing. I'd recommend around 3.75-4" backspacing, I have 15x8's with 3.75" backspacing and wouldn't want them tucked under the Jeep any more than they are.
The only all terrains I'd consider buying again are the DC Radial FC-II, and General Grabber AT2. Duratracs look decent too, but I haven't tried them personally. However, I probably won't ever buy an all terrain tire again, useless if you ever want to go wheeling. Most radial mud terrain tires will last a long time, have good street manners, and actually perform decent offroad. You won't be replacing tires every 20k miles unless you put some bias Swampers on it. I can even get 35k+ out of Irok Radials under a fullsize truck.

Im running BFG ATs now just 30.9.5s though and i love em. A buddy has 35x12.5 KM2s and i agree they are sweet, I just prefer an all terrain due to wear and road noise. Glad to know ive already got the best! haha
If I adjusted my steering stops do you think i could stop them from rubbing? or try to find some 32x10.5s, or some spacers i guess.
