I've ordered the RE/DPG hybrid 5" long arm lift. I will be running 33x12.5 tires for now due to stock gearing. My plan is to regear and lock over the winter. What backspacing wheels will work with both 33s now and maybe 35s in the future?

In my opinion 4" of back spacing is a good number to shoot at. If you drive on the road a lot go with 4.5" of back spacing or if this is a trail beater get 3.5" back spacing.

Just a quick glance at quadratec it looks like 4.25" backspacing is pretty popular.

The other common is 3.75. It's going to be mostly as trail rig. I just don't want any rubbing issues.

i went with the 3.75" backspacing wheels from 4wd.com, and i'm pretty happy with them.
