backspacing and all that good jazz is needed to see if they will fit. tire size (width is helpful too)

Hey man I have this setup check in my signature and you can see what I went with. The rims are +18mm offset and the tires are 295/70R18 which equates to almost 35" tires so I guess this is what you are talking about. I have a 2" leveling kit and with some minor trimming they fit like a charm. I have zero rubbing and I like how far they stick out. Hope this helps. Here is post I made which shows what I trimmed and how far they stick out.

It looks like in the ebay post you can choose between a -12mm offset or a +18mm offset. If you with the -12mm it is definatley going to rub IMO due to the sidewall of the Trail Grappler.
