Looking for advice on tire and wheel purchase
 
Think I got it decided=
1/Rims American Racing Outlaw II 62 series 15 x 8 with 3-3/4
backspacing.
Looking for input on the rim backspacing. I can get the 3-3/4 BS rims
for agood price.


2/Tires
32x11.5x15 either from TireRack
Dunlop Radial Mud Rover 96 bucks
Kumho Venture MT 105 bucks

3/My gut tells me to go with the Kuhmo Venture's I dont really need a
mud tire
but may in the future and I like the agressive look.

4/Rig has 2.5 RE Extreme Duty lift installed-with a 1" body lift and YJ
flares to come-I already have the BL just need a warm dry day to
install.
Rig is my DD (5 miles a day) and will be street driven with the new
tires until the above are complete.

Thanks in advance for any help-You guys on are amazing! I just spent
my whole week researching this on line. 20 years ago woulda went to the
local tire guy and bought what he recommended!

I've heard 3.75 is the best backspacing. I have 3.25 and they stick out
from the stock flares quite a bit (my 33x12.5R15 BFG MTs). Keeps the TJ
nice and dirty whenever there's any rain/dirt/mud. :-) Also, I've never
had any rubbing at full turn either on the street or when fully flexed on
the trail.
