Default Tire and Wheel Help

Hey all,

Need some help with picking some wheels and tires. I am all stock right now, but going to go with a 3" lift with 35" tires.

I wanted to go with BFG MT's, 35x12.5x15 with Cragar soft 8 15x8's w/4" BS. The specs on the BFG MT's say 8.5 to 11" width on the wheels, which is .5 off the wheels i was looking at.

Next step up with the Cragars is 17x9 but with a 5" BS. Would I be alright with that backspace? I tried looking around but couldn't find anyone running 5" BS.

I did find someone with the 35x12.5x15 MT's with 15x8 soft 8's...so does that .5" not matter?

Thanks for any help, I'm a newb with wheels and tires.
