Buying Used Rim's 3.75 BS or 4.25 ? QUICK HELP PLEASE

Ive been running my 33" x 12.5" x 15" Mickey Thompson tires for about a month now. they were mounted on the Stock 15"x7" Rims and are cupping due to the small rim and wide tire.


I have a buddy that will sell me some used rims 15"x8" for $20.00 the set. he has two set's One with 3.75" Backspacing and the other with 4.25" !

Which will fit better ? I've searched checked out Rogers Site and still cant decided. Stock backspacing it 4.75" I belive so should I grab the 4.25" Than ?

Closer to stock the better. Less BS = larger scrub radius = more rubbing at firewall and valence.

I had 3.75" backspacing on my 2nd gen with 33x12.50R15 BFG Mudders and had little to no rub after trimming the valence and plasma cutting the pinch weld. If you have already trimmed everything then I would suggest the 3.75"...if hes a good buddy, get one set, try them and if they don't work go back and get the other set...you'll only be out the mounting cost.

EDIT: Just remembered that you had a 3" body lift, you should be fine without trimming. I would go 3.75, they will stick out more from the fender and give it a more aggressive look. All personal preference at this point I would assume.
