if you want it to stick out farther then you will want 4.5 to 3.5. a 5 in backspacing will probablly be about .5 in to 1 in out. 3.5 will be about 2 to 2.5 inches. but it depends on rim width and tire choice as well.

Yes, a 5" backspace will be fine with your 32x10 tires. They will sit 1.25 inches further out.
For the 35x12.50's, this section of the faq would be a good place to start:
For the rim width, go to the manufacturers website and look at the specs for that particular tire. It will list a recommended rim width. (lots of people are running 12.50's on 8" wide rims. No problems)
