Default Back Spacing help please

I'm like a kid in a candy store with all of the ideas and pictures.
I keep getting new ideas, it's great!

I would like help to find the backspacing for the following:
American Eagle wheels #187 has a 15x8" wheels with 5x5 lug pattern it has a back spacing of 3.25 inches and a offset of 30mm (?).
I want to put on BFG M/T 33x12.5x15 tires on them . Will this work with the back spacing?
Now I know that the stock wheel for the Rubi is BFG 32x10x17 and wheel
size of 17x7.5 with a backspacing of 6.25".
They offer backspacing of 3.25" I want the tires to barely extend past the wheel wells by a 1" or so. I don't want to get this wrong.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I have 35 x 12.5 x 17 on 17 x8 wheels with 4 1/2" of backspacing. I stick out 1 3/4 inches on each side. Hope that helps.
