Default Backspace Question

Just ordered my lift kit now im on to the wheels and tires. I'm looking at ordering rims tonight and know i need a 5x5 bolt pattern but there are so many different options on back spacing and i'm not sure which to get and don't want to order the wrong ones. I'm going to be running a 4 inch rancho kit with 37's if that helps at all. thanks!

And if you look at the install sheet on Rancho's website, you will find that they recommend a 4.50 BS also. You might consider dropping down to a 4.0 or so, though

Do I need to do that right away or is that something that can be done later? i've read about people saying they never needed a new one and ive also seen posts about how they needed a new one right away so im split on weather i should get one or not.
