Back spacing, rim size and tire size?

Im about to go on vacation and planning to put in my BJspacers and OME 901 coils in the rear. My question is I ran into a guy making me a deal on a set of welds they are 15x10 not exactly sure of the back spacing but what kind of back spacing should I be looking for and what size tire would be alright for a rim that size.

The closer to that you get the better, 4.5" or so works well.

What type of tires do you recommend for that size of wheel I was originally going to go with 31x10.50 but checking the wheel site that might be to small of a tire for that rim. Didn't want to go to big this still is my DD everyday.

Probably need a 12.50 wide tire for a 10" rim. Those will stick out pretty wide and increase the chance of rubbing on the front fender as well, at least in the taller sizes.

Even with bj spacers do you think it will rub.

With 31s, likely not, but I said with taller tires. The wider the wheel and tire stick out from the fender, the wider the arc they sweep while turning. If that arch intersects the arch of the wheel well, you get rubbing.

If you are running bj spacers, you will need a wheel closer to 4" of backspacing, perhaps even 3.75 to be safe.

I might run a 33" on these 15x10's not sure yet just wondering how a 31x10.5 would look like on a 10 inch rim from what I'm finding out the rim's came off of a tacoma that had a 4 inch total lift.
