4.5 " backspacing
I know the last thing you guys want to read is another question on would these tires fit ect, but I have searched and I cant quite find the answer im looking for so here goes, I have a 2 inch body lift already and im running 31" on the stock rims, with this combo I havent had any issues, I'm looking in to getting 15" Rock Crawler rims, which have 4.5" backspacing, does anyone know if I would be rubing, i'd rather not start cutting lol. I might have to go down to 30's if some of you guys have had problems. thanks for the info

yea you'll have issues.
Ive got a 2'' BL, 2'' shackles and a 1.5'' tbar crank, and still had to cut a little wheel well off to get my 30x10.50s to fit because of the 4.5'' backspacing.

Wolfpack is right you will be rubbing a lot and end up chewing your tires unless you cut out some of your fenders. I love the people who says they fit 31" tires stock height with no rub...riiiiiight. With the lift I have listed in my sig and 31"s I still managed to bend up the lower of my fender and bend in a section of inner fender while I was out offroading. Come to think about it I'll go hammer that out now!

Dang I was hoping I could fit 30's with just the body lift and those rims, anyone know what size tire will fit with just a body lift, and no fender triming? thanks.

I'd keep the 31's with stock rims or rims that are very close to stock backspacing. If you offroad any the 31's will be a little wider and give you some more ground clearance, plus while going through ruts the if you have rims with stock backspacing you will be less prone to bottoming out. Plus a little less wear on wheel bearings and such!

You could always "trim" your fenders like this... https://blazerforum.com/forum/paint-body-interior-39/el-cheapo-fender-trimming-job-30332/
