wheel and bs help

first post for me but been lurking around for a year or so, i need some help...putting a 4.5re lift on the wifes 00 xj and ordered some 33-12.50-15 nitto trail grapplers today but i have been on the computer for hours now researching wheel sizes and backspacings. im going to run procomps 152s ( fake beadlock) and im pretty positive i want to run a 15x10s ( i understand i doesnt seat the bead as well and i will have to do major triming) but the only bs they come in is 3.75 im afraid thats going to be TO FAR out , i was hoping more for a 4 or 4.5 bs should i just run the 10s w/3.75 bs or should i just go with 8s w/3.75 bs......im losing my mind and need help, any tips,tricks,advice, pictures or links will help.....and please dont tell me to use the search function i have been on this forum and every other one and google trying to find a answer and it has just made me more crazy.....thanks in advanced, Gary

tens with 3.75 back-spacing ... *shrug*

I used to run 15x8's with 33x12.5 the last time I had them (and will again if I get some more). The 8" wheel holds the bead tighter with 12.5's ... i had regular issues popping a bead with 15x10's below 10psi.

thanks for the pic, nice looking Jeep, what lift and any rubbing issues? anyone have a pic of 10s and 3.75bs without flares?

your talking 1/4" of difference inch of backspacing... whats going to really determine your tire profile is the rim width.

for what its worth... 33x12.50 on 4" BS




33x11.50 on 3.5" BS:




both rims are 8". tires about 30psi. RE 4.5" lift.

went with procomp 153s 15x8 with a 3.75 backspacing.....thanks for the help guys

Glad to see some pics of 33's, lift and wheel choice - I'm soon to make the same choice.
