BS for 33/10.5/r15 tires
Currently running 33x12.5x15 tires with 15x10 steelies and 3.75" backspacing on a 3 inch lift. Looking to move to 33x10.5 tires on 15x8 wheels and am wondering what backspacing I should be going with. Any suggestions are appreciated, and pics would be amazing!
Thanks in advance

Really depends on what you're going for. You could run them on stock wheels (~5-6" backspacing), but the tires will rub on the lower control arms at full steering cut. Normal steelie backspacing (~3.75") will clear the arms fine, but also have the downsides of high backspacing such as bigger scrub radius and more stress on the wheel bearings.
