Looking at wheels that have either a 8.5"and 10". Obviously the 1.5". But I'm guessing it would push the tire out of the fender more?

The backspacing controls how far the tire sticks out

Yes, it will push out more, because same tire is wider on a wider wheel. If you're planning to air your tires down, a narrower wheel will hold the bead better. I'd go for a narrower wheel if it was me.

I have 15x10 wheels and the whole outside thread lug sticks out of the fender

Thats just a tiny bit more than my 17x8.5 3.80 backspacing rims. I want to go to a 15 inch rim because tires are so much cheaper. My nephew has a 99TJ with 16k miles on it. He just texted me saying he just got "free rims and tires" no details yet, but i asked if i could have his factory 15" rims. I would buy spacers for them.
