I decided to go with a 4 and 1/2 inch rusty's offroad suspension lift. Then I changed from 33's to 32/1150s on 15x10 inch rims for economical reasons...seeing as how gas is going up up and away...So my question is how much backspacing due I need for maximum articulation while allowing the tires to stick out on the sides.
thanks

well do you want them to stuff inside the wheel wells when flexing other wise thats going to cut back on your articulation/flex.

I want them to stick out a little for the visual effect but then again I dont want to take out my fender flares when I flex...I could extend the bumpstops...so I guess I want to know what the ideal backspacing would be for my wheels considering manuverability and the visual effect?

this is what your looking at

-- Minor trimming, 15x8" Tech1 w/4.75 backspacing --

With 2" lift = 30x9.50 tires
With 3" lift = 30x9.50 to 31x10.50 tires
With 4.5" lift = 31x10.50 to 32x11.50 tires
With 6" lift = 33x12.50 tires

15x10's :shock: why so wide just for the look?
3 and a half maybe less so your getting 32's by what 11.50 12.50 what?
