Backspacing Opinions

I needs some new rims for my project truck but i dont want to have to buy rims twice.

My final plan is to SAS and Run 37" tires and 15" rims on an 85 axle.

I am currently stock and needing to order some wheels and tires to use while i save up some more build funds

So my question is what backspacing should I get so that my wheels will be suitable now and when i get my truck built up?

I did search guys and couldnt find a very direct answer. Thank you for the help.

Depends if you are running wheel spacers and/or V6 brake upgrade.

If you use the wheel spacers and upgrade the brake calipers eventually you can run 15x8 w/ 3.75" of BS.

Backspacing won't be an issue with the wheel spacers that much. Buy some that fit your IFS by checking the rim sizer on tire/rim websites.
