Rim/Tire Size?

I have a 96 2wd 4Runner and im trying to figure my tire options. I just put in a OME 3 inch lift and have a 1 inch body kit that is in my garage waiting to be put on. Anyways I have the stock 15x7 Rims now and was wondering what options I have when it comes to me buying new rims. I have a set of used Goodyear MTR 33x12.50/15 that I would like to use. Im going to go with the Rockcrawler 152 Black streetlock wheel but im not sure as to how much backspacing I need or what the difference is from a 15x8 and a 15x10. Any insight? thanks BTW, the sites awesome!!

What about the back spacing? Someone told me that If I used the Steel rims that they would hit the calliper. Any truth beind that?

ur gonna have to try n put em on to see if they fit. some will some wont. i think with a 15x8 u might need less than 4.5" backspacing for the tires not to rub...maybe 4" bs. the calipers will either hit the lip on the inside of the rim or the face of the caliper will hit the mounting surface on the inside of the rim

well, ive never really compared, but it seems 15" rims and tires are more common/cheaper, if this is not the case or doesn't matter... a 16" won't hit the calipers

I just put on some 33x12.50s on 15x8 rims(with 4" backspacing i believe) with a 2.5 to 3.5" suspension lift and 1" body lift. I rubbed a little on the pinchweld, but a few whacks with a hammer fixed that one. You may want to consider getting a body lift too, if you don't want to rub.
