Backspacing, etc - HELP
 

I have a couple of dilemmas going on.

The tires I want are the Interco Irok's. Specs are:
Prod. Code I-801
Size 36x13.50-15LT
Ply Rating 6
Skid Depth 22/32
Tread Width 11.0
O.D. 36.8
C.S. 14.5
Rim 15x10
Max. Infla. 30
Max. Load 2810

I've got a 98 TJ, 6" Skyjacker springs, RE long arm upgrade kit, and a 1" body lift.
Currently I am running 33x12.5 SSR's. I don't really know if the Irok's will
fit...or what to do about it if they do rub. I know that my bump stops will need to
be lengthened. My steering stops already have 4 washers on each side - granted,
since the LA it went in I have not checked to see if I can remove any washers.

I normally run 15x8 wheels with 4" backspacing.

I am looking at maybe needing to run 15x10 wheels...but I don't know what the
backspacing is that I should order. I know these suckers will be sticking out past
the flares a lot, but I don't want them rubbing on the control arms or eating my
brake lines either.

Any suggestions as to what backspacing to look at??

Or anything else to check out prior to purchasing the tires?

Actually a good point Bill. I changed mine when they started to make noise.
I threw them in with the trail spares. They will get me home. I actually
even pumped them full of new grease.
