What back spacing will work?
 
I looked at some rims today. I will eventually run 33" tires.
1. Would you go 15" or 16" rim?
2. I looked at 16x8 w/4.5" backspacing and 16x10 w/around 4.75" backspacing. Is that too much backspacing? I don't want it to rub on the inside, but would not want too much sticking out the fenders.

Any help will be appreciated.

nope my 35s on 16.5 x 9.75 w/ 4.75 BS don't rub. Go with the 15" rim.

just curious jim why would you say to go with the 15 " wouldnt that mean you have to grind down the calipers? if doing from fresh start why not just go to 16" and skip that step? just curious

I was assuming 1/2 ton. On a 3/4 ton I'd say 16.5" but that's for the load rating.
