Default Buying my stuff now, just double checking.

I finally bought my body lift last night and I'm about to buy my wheels and tires. I've got my 31's picked out and now I can't decide what to do for wheels.

I wanted to get some black crawler wheels with a 4.5" BS, but the only ones I've found are these. The more I read the less likely it sounds like I can't fit 31's with a 4.5" backspaced wheel and only a 2 inch lift, but everyone says something different. I read the lifting thread, but it only says something about using stock wheels.

Can anyone tell me from what they have or have had?

Thanks, Drew

i have a 2" body lift and a 2" suspension lift with 31x10.5x15 and 4.5" of back spacing and i still rub im going to have to trim my fenders too, so i would definatly say you cant run those wheels with just a 2"BL, i speak from personal experience

Thanks for that. I've been reading around on here and s10forum since I posted this and I think I'll stick with my stock wheels until I find something closer to the stock backspacing. I thought about a tbar crank and shackles, but I don't want the extra wear.

What would you guys say the farthest a person could get from stock backspacing with the 2 inch body lift and 31's and not have major rubbing?

Would some 15x7's with a 40mm offset (about 5.5" backspacing) be okay with 31's and only a 2 inch body lift. I would immagine they would since they are only a 1/2" out more then stock, but I want to make sure before I order.
