Pics of wheel setups with low backspacing

Right now I have 31x10.50r15 BFG's on a 15x10, not really sure what the backspacing is. The only reason I am running this is because they were the wheels I had and I got the tires used. Well, I am looking to get some new wheels because I am having bead issues offroad. What I am looking for is, what backspacing do I need to achieve the same stance the truck has now? I love how the tires sit outside the fenders about an inch, and want to keep this stance. What would I need to get this with an 8" or 7.5" rim? I searched around and im thinking 3.75 backspacing would be the way to go. Im really looking for some pics of similar setups.

Why don't you just measure the backspacing on the rim?

Place the rim on the ground, mounting surface facing up. Place a straight edge or peice of wood across the rim (not touching the tire) and measure from the mounting surface to the wood.

With my 15x8" rim and 3.5" backspacing (with 33x12.50's) my tires stick out almost 3"
