Going with 32 x 11.5's on 15x8's.

I want these to tuck nicely under flex but not be too far under the body.
And I surely don't want them sticking way the hell out.

What is the recommended backspacing for this setup

thanks

anywhere from 4"-4.5" should be fine

Stock I think is 5.5" b.s. 7" rim so you should be good with your 8" rims and 4-4.5" b.s.

Stock BS is 5.25"

I ran 32x11.5's on 8" w/ 4.5" BS and they tucked nicely.

I agree with them on the tuck issue, but you mentioned you wanted them to stick out some. I have 15x8 with 3.75BS. I love it, did do bumpstops on the rear and moved the front flares up and trimmed.

Here are some pics (lame) so you can decide. The factory 5.25 was way to far in for my liking.

Bad pics, but one is flexing on RTI. (I have the RE 3.5 6030 which flexes WAY better, but I was still connected in those pics.)

I've got 32x11.50s but they are on a 15x7 rim. 4" BS puts them about 1/2" outside the fenders on either side.

Stock BS is 5.25"

just for comparision sake, i run 32x11.50's on an 8" rim with 4" of bs'ing...

here's how far they stick out w/ flares on

and here's how far they stick out w/ flares off

they tuck just fine if you keep your tires straight. but you'll get some major rubbing if you turn the wheel

but i just added some hockey puck spacers and have pleanty of room to turn the wheel now
