Default back spacing on a 9 inch wheel?

what back spacing would you recomend for a 9 inch wheel with a 13 inch tire on it? i do not want to run spacers if i don't have to. thanks for any help. if you could include pics that would be great so i can actually see it.

you would need no more than 4.5" of bs but a bit less would be better as even with 4.5", you might see some rubbing of the frame and front sway bar at a full turn. if you can find it, 3.5"-3.75" would be better.

My PSC spyderlocks are 9.5" with a 12.50 tire, 3.75" bs, and I think its perfect. No rubbing issues at all. Plus I think the wider stance looks good.
