Default backspacing with 33's?

hey guys i have a 97 jimmy with a 5in trailmaster susp lift and a 2in pa body lift. i want to up grade my tires and wheels. i want to get the falken wildpeak at 33x12.5x15 on procomp steel wheels with the simulated beadlock. i just want to know what you guys recomend on the back spacing i already am going to have to do a bit of fender trimming but i dont want them rubbing on the frame or swaybar. any info would be appreciated.

are your tires the same size as the ones i posted and how much lift do you have? and how far do they stick out past the fenders.

sounds like a plan.

just so ya know..some tire shops
..cough cough "discount" wont touch your wheels if you have spacers on.
and if your looking for a place to get some try ebay...about 60-90 including shipping is what i did.

MAKE SURE you buy hub centric nothing else.

the sellers store. where i got mine...had them on since feb this year no problems at all.
just torqued them and added some loctite for good measure.
