Default Need some Wheel Advice

Ok so I am looking at the Crager Soft 8 series 397 black steel wheel......... I think they look great and found a super deal on them..............

My question is can I run a 15 x 8 with 4'' of backspacing and be fine? ....

I was also wanting to run 32 x 11.5 x 15 BFG M/T TA


Would this set up work fine or do i need to change the size of tire, and/or size of rim/backspacing

I do not want to lift my jeep as of right now due to warranty complications...

Well crap.........

I just noticed the wheels I was looking at is a 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern....

and the only ones I can find in the series 397 is 16 inch

I was wanting 15's

Can any one reccommend a tire like the series 397 in 15 inch.... or do you know where you can get 15;s in Crager 397 in 15 inches with the right bolt pattern and backspacing?

Edit:
OK Found some in 15 x 8 with 5 on 5 and 4 inch backspacing at jegs........

Thanks
derek

Careful. Not all 4" backspacing will fit.

Any ideal what backspacing would work, on jegs the on 5 on 5 bolt pattern is the 4 inch backspacing only:

What about the 15 x 7 with 4'' of back spacing, should that fit?

and If it does, with the 15x 7 ........would a 32 x 11.5 x 15 even work on that rim?
