    Hey guys,
    What is the correct back-spacing for my 75. The wheels are 15x10 MT Classic II's. Also, I can't really decide between 8" or 10" wheels. I am going to be running 33x12.50 tires and I don't want to have the tires poking way outside the flares. I don't want them to narrow or too wide, just in between. Any experiences or thoughts on this?

    I believe the standard backspacing is four inches I am sure some one else will chime in.

    With 33s stay with the 8 inch wheel. I Run 35x12.5 at 7.5 PSI on the trails on 15x8 wheels. No problems with them keeping a bead on the 8 inch rim.
