Default Offset/backspacing

I have a 96 2wd, and I want to level it and put a set of 33s on it. I'm also planning on swapping the rims for 15x10s. What is the proper back spacing or offset that I should be looking for to minimize rubbing and/or contact with anything?

Thank you.

Post in the wheels and tires section instead of the brakes and suspension section. Might get more help there.

There is no wheels and tires section on the app though?

I despise the app, so I never use it and don't know how to get to different forums on it haha. Just go down to the bottom of the page and click on "go to full site"

I had stock 15x7.5 wheels with 4" backspacing with 33 x 12.5 mud tires and I had issues with rubbing the radius arms at full lock and the bumper and that's 4x4.

The way I understand it is the less backspacing you have the less likely to rub the radius arms but more likely to hit the fender and bumper. I now have 15x10 rims and 3.75 backspacing.
