Default Cragar 352s or Pro Comp 152s?

So I really want to get simulated beadlocks for 35s and my lift. Need some opinions. These wheels are both extremely similar and I don't really see much of a difference any ideas?

And also, for fitment, the Cragar 352s I'm looking at are either 16x10 with 4" backspacing or 16x8 with 5" backspacing. The Pro Comp 152s run 16x8 with 3.75" backspacing. Which will work best (really don't want to use spacers)?

Thanks for the help

No pics? You are gonna make me look them up, so I can vote?

J/k, I found them. I would go with the Pro Comps.

So after doing more reading, does anyone know...

Im thinking of running the 36/13.5/R16 Super Swampers Bias or the 315/75R16 Pro Comp M/Ts.

Will the backspacing of the Cragar 16x10s clear the Super Swampers without rubbing? or would the 16x8s be better? I don't want to run spacers.

-or-

Will the backspacing with the ProComps at 3.75 be better?

and separately...

If I decide to spend less and opt for the 35s

Which wheel is best without using spacers?

Just a heads up procomp wheels are made by craiger...so after saying that I would go with the procomps with the Procomp tires and the 3.75 BS. I love my Procomp tires they are pretty nasty off road and on road they are very quiet. The only problem with them is they don't measure out to a true 35, I think they measure out to 34.8

I'd go with the Cragar 16x8. The pro comps appear to have a glossy finish and thats just not me. It's your jeep though so you got final say.
