Time for new meats, and maybe new rims! A few questions!

Well I need some new tires before hunting season. I think I am going to go with 32x10.5 or 11.5, maybe 33's.

The tires I have are not completely worn out but dont have very much tread left. So I was thinking about getting a whole set of new wheels and tires, and keeping my old set for next summer to finish off or sell.

First the info you need to answer my questions. I will soon be getting 1.5" BJ spacers and cruiser coils in the rear. With the BJ spacers I am pretty sure I have to run a 10.5" wide tire. I would like to run 11.5's if I can.

My questions are what backspacing will I need on the new wheels if I decide to get them? Can I fit a 11.5" wide tire with the BJ spacers?

Any info is greatly appriciated since I should be purchasing the tires and maybe wheels this week!
Thanks

I know that I should probably try searching but this is more application specific, and I dont have a whole lotta time to sift through all the crap thats out there!

Please help!
Thanks

You should be fine with 32x11.50's I would go get some cheap 15x8 black rock crawlers to put them on with 4" backspacing. Only because I know a 4" backspaced wheel will definately clear it and give you a little wider more stable stance.

33x12.50's won't rub in the back with cruiser coils but likely they may rub a little in the front.They are also a heavier tire and will bend steering parts if you wheel it hard. I have been through 5 idler arms since I went to ball spacers. Definately spend the money for a idler arm brace if you decide on 33's.

Tires are up to you what to run if you don't use it on the trail alot I would put a aggressive AT on it.
