Will 15X8 w/ 4.75 BS Work?

Getting ready to order some cragar soft 8s. I have a 1" body lift and 33X10.5 BFG mts on a 92 4 Runner. Will the 15X8 with the 4.75 backspace work? Or will they rub the a arm with the extra width. Trying to get these ordered tonight so need to know whether to go 4.75" or 4". Also, what is the lug nut thread size, 12X1.50?

They work. I have my spare 35x12.50 mounted on one of these with the same backspacing and the only thing I rub is the idler arm a little.

Edit: But I recommend a 15x7 with those tires.

why not 15x8 with 10.50?
i am about to get the soft 8's and was gonna get 8in. that way i can go 12.5in in the future. but i know a couple guys who have 31x10.5 x15 on the 15x8. does it have to do with setting the bead?

If you're planning on running 12.50's in the future, I'd get the 8" wide. I prefer 7" wide for 10.50's so that you don't lose a bead as easily when aired down. I currently run 12.50's on the stock 7" wide rims only because I'm too cheap to buy new rims yet. I have to run a lower on-road pressure to keep my tread flat on the pavement and it costs me some handling and fuel economy.

I have the 15x8s on 10.50s but then again... I planned ahead for 12.50s... mine have 3.75 back spacing.

Looks good man. Did the new backspacing give you any new rubbing?

No rubbing and I opted not to do the 1" body lift. So my Runner has no lift at all.
