Sorry. The mud pic was before I upgraded haha. I went mudding with a set of bald 235/75/r15s haha. I upgraded to 15x8 aluminum wheels with back spacing, and got 31 BFG all terrains

Excellent choice! i think 31's are juuuust the right size for our trucks

Did the back spacing eliminate the little rub-a-dub when cranked to the right?

They are backspaced 3/4" if I remember correctly. It's either that or 1/2". And mine never rub, an I never rode 31s without the new wheels. I just got em so the tires sat wider, and I really liked the bullet hole style

No your rims don't have a half to three quarters of an inch backspacing.

When we measured before putting them on(got em used) from the outside it measured between 4.5 and 4.75 to the center. From the inside it measured between 3.25 and 3.5 to the center.

That's 3.25-3.5 inches of backspacing, much more realistic.
