Backspacing, etc - HELP

I have a couple of dilemmas going on.

The tires I want are the Interco Irok's. Specs are: Prod. Code I-801 Size 36x13.50-15LT Ply Rating 6 Skid Depth 22/32 Tread Width 11.0 O.D. 36.8 C.S. 14.5 Rim 15x10 Max. Infla. 30 Max. Load 2810

I've got a 98 TJ, 6" Skyjacker springs, RE long arm upgrade kit, and a 1" body lift. Currently I am running 33x12.5 SSR's. I don't really know if the Irok's will fit...or what to do about it if they do rub. I know that my bump stops will need to be lengthened. My steering stops already have 4 washers on each side - granted, since the LA it went in I have not checked to see if I can remove any washers.

I normally run 15x8 wheels with 4" backspacing.

I am looking at maybe needing to run 15x10 wheels...but I don't know what the backspacing is that I should order. I know these suckers will be sticking out past the flares a lot, but I don't want them rubbing on the control arms or eating my brake lines either.

Any suggestions as to what backspacing to look at??

Or anything else to check out prior to purchasing the tires?

Actually a good point Bill. I changed mine when they started to make noise. I threw them in with the trail spares. They will get me home. I actually even pumped them full of new grease.

Same here. when mine went out I saved the best as a trail spare and put new ones in. spare is in the wheeling box.
