Default Wheels n Tires

Alright guys, I am pondering about what backspacing wheels to get. I want to get an 8" wide wheel. I am going to run 31x10.50 tires or 32" max. I will also have bushwacker flares. I found some 15x8 D windows with a 2.5" backspacing. That should work good with the bushwacker flares shouldn't it? What's my options?

3.75 on 8" D windows worked really well on mine, they were perfectly flush with the wackers.

That is good to hear, I have really been looking at the DC2's but there just a little costly. They are in 3 5/8" so they would work also. Good to hear. Yours worked with 31x10.50"s?

Oh my bad that was with 32's, but should not be too far off.

Alright, I just don't want it to look dumb. I am going with a 3" lift. Might go more later.
