What's the biggest tire I can put on the stock alloys without getting into backspacing trouble? It has a mild 2"-3" lift. But I'm concerned about the stock backspacing.

I ran 32's for years with NO rubbing what so ever (lock to lock and at full stuff) with the stock wheels, I'm currently running 35's now with the same stock wheels but I'm at around a 5" lift and I have spidertrax spacers to minimize rubbing at full lock and agressively bumpstopped to minimize rubbing on the fenders at full flex. Hope this helps.
