hello i was wondering what backspacing anyone could recommend for 33' tires. I found some pro comp series 43 steelies some guys selling, he thinks the backspacing is 3 1/2. The truck that I want to put them on is a 99 4x4,and i have a 3' PA BL to put on as well. any input or pics would help!
 
oh yeah...the wheels are 15x8, and for tires i'd like to run 33x12.5r15 or 32x11.5r15

3.50 or 3.75 should be good.. honestly i like them to stick out more i would go with a 3.25 bs. anything under 3 and your gona put stress on your suspention..

and go with the 33x12.5/15..

Go 15x8 with a 3.75" it will put them maby an inch outside the fender flares. With just a BL you may still have rubbing issues.
 
not sure how different the width is betwen a 4x4 and 2x4 but i have 33x12.5r15s and 15x10 rims with 4in back spacing and it looks damn good.if u go to bronco graveyard and go to the old pictorial under 99 ranger mines the green one with black rims.(but its leveled out now ,could not stand the back end down,looked like a dog rubbing his ass on the carpet)

i the rims are actually 15x9 i must have read buddy's add wrong...i don't think that extra inch will make a difference. I'm hoping for no rub issues, but that might be wishful thinking. at what point does backspacing really start to hurt suspension or wheel bearings?
