im looking at crager soft 8 rims from jegs.
the 15 x7 and 15x8 both are 39.99

im putting on the frankenlift soon, and im not used to looking for tires for 15" rims. if i got the 15x8 what tire size would be the same as 245/75 on 16 inch rims. and on the 15x8 would 4" backspacing be ok, or should i go with 4 and 3/4" backspacing.

edit: i found that 265/75/15 are closest to 245/75/16 so i found my tire size

You will have less problems with the 7" wide rims and they will support up to a 10.5" wide tire with no problems and will be better offroad when aired down,less likely to blow a bead on a 7" rim than a 8" rim with a 10.5" or less wide tire.
