That looks really nice. Mine looks exactly the way yours used too right now. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on some "for-now" steelies and a set of springs to make it right. I am running 27560r15's and I was told in another thread that I'd be able to get by with 4 inches of backspacing. Do you think that's accurate?? I noticed you went with the 3 3/4... By the way, thanks for remembering and taking the time to upload those pics after all this time!!! Nothing makes a car conversation click like seeing pictures of what you've been discussing.
Backspacing needs will depend on the wheel width. If you are running 275 tires I assume the wheel will be at least 8"? If that is the case then you'll need 4.5", preferably 5", of backspacing with a 275 tire. Don't take chances. It's takes all the pleasure out of a new wheel/tire combo when you get 'em on there and they rub the fenders under the slightest amount of suspension travel.
Yeah, my tires are on 8 inch wheels now that have 3 inch backspacing, which is obviously way too little. I was thinking 4" would be enough (ive been told) but maybe 4.5 or more to be safe? Who else is running this tire/wheel size and what backspacing are you using?
