    Definitely agree with both of those suggestions. We have run several sets of bfg all terrains on a few vehicles and never had an issue. The sidewall is pretty tough. Tread wear is excellent.

    Also, i'd like to suggest an 8" wide wheel. That way if you ever want to step up to a 12.50" wide tire you won't have any issues or need new wheels. And it makes them more valuable to others should you won't to sell them down the line.

    I agree as well...I've run BFG A/Ts with excellent results in off-road traction, durability and street traction as well...the 8" rim is also a good recommendation, I have 8" rims (4.25BS) DC1s w/STT Cooper 31's and an 4" Old Man Emu Kit.

    Thanks for the suggestions, I'm confused about the backspacing though. I plan on going with the 15 X7 with 235 75 15 all terrain tires. What backspace should I get 4" or 4.5?
    Thanks
