my lift opinion & wheel backspacing question

Well I've had the cruiser coils and bj spacers on for a few weeks and i gotta say i'm loving it. The coils initially gave me almost 4 inches of lift (over stock), but they've sagged down to about 2.5 inches, which i'm actually happy about. I'm needing new tires (going to go to 33's) but I also want new wheels, just for the fact that i need different backspacing because it looks weird right now with the wheel tucked in there so tight. what amount of backspacing do you guys recommend and i'm probably going to go with 10.5" on the tire width.






if you look closely, i bought a 4wd emblem off ebay and put it above the sr5 one.

oh and i covered up what my girlfriend wrote on the windows...figured you guys wouldn't care for that haha.

i am running mickey thompson classic II's i have 15x8's with 31x10.5 inch tires. i also added lift and will be moving up to larger tires, 33's. seems like a good componation. they give my truck an agressive look cause the stick out past the fenders a bit, prolly like 2-3 inches. get a beefy looking tire and that runner will look real good. any questions you can shoot me a pm.

For wheels I'd suggest 15x8 with 3.75" BS if you're gonna go with 33x10.5... You could maybe get away with 4" BS but that's cutting it pretty close to the trailing arms when turning...

does anyone know if the 4 inch backspacing would work with this tire. the reason im asking is because cragar makes a good looking black wheel on the cheap and it comes in 4 and 4.75 in backspacing i figure the 4.75 are out of the question. i'd like to get these wheels but not if anyone knows if they will rub with that tire.

Yeah i had heard the 3.75" was a good choice, I just wasn't sure if it mattered on the width of the tire...
