Talking Woohooo good news!

Ah so i ordered my tires today! I know some people may think making a thread is retarded but for a 18yearold kid, tires for his truck finally is awesome haha I ordered the LAST set of 32x11.50 Bfgmuddterrrains
Only one thing, now i need to decide on rims, and the one place i went to awhile back had black steel rims kinda like the cragar soft 8 rims, but only question i have is, i need 3.75 back spacing correct? My truck is not lifted, only thing that is going ot be done soon is new leafs in the rear to fix the sagging, so ive been reading and every one says 3.75 backspacing correct?
and, the guy at this off road shop said something along the lines if i do get these rims that they are going to rub alot because it is a wider rim? could anyone shed some light onto this for me??

Thanks yotatech again!

Between 3.5 and 3.75 should be fine.

Nope, should be fine. I've got 33x12.50x15's on 15x8x3.75 black Rock Crawlers and they barely rub at full lock and stuffed.
