So I know there's a lot of questions on here about regarding wheels, backspacing, tires and fenders on here but I thought I would just run this by you guys before I make a purchase.
I'm planning on getting a set of all terrains tires and 15" steel wheels. My current tires are nice for my daily highway driving, not so much off road, but they will be on most of the time. They are 245/75R16 Cooper SRX on the 16" Moab wheels.
My local off road store confirmed my suspicion that the previous owner installed the 2" Skyjacker spacer lift kit on it so that should mean I could stuff a 32" tire on there if I wanted, though I'm leaning towards a 31".
So this brings me to my questions and concerns. Could you guys tell me what backspacing I would need for a 31x10.5r15 and a 32x11.5r15 to keep them inside of my Rubicon fenders flares? The off road store had 2 workers give me 2 different answers on backspacing for both 32" and 31" tires so I held off. Also am I overthinking this whole keeping the tires perfectly underneath the fender flares? Lol
