I have a 93 trooper with a 3 inch body lift and 3 inch suspension lift and want to run 35s. I have two questions, first will a 15 inch wheel fit on my rig without any problems, and second what amount of backspacing should I get to reduce rubing? Thanks

First, welcome to 4X4wire.
I would suggest that you use the search function. This subject is discussed regularly here. I did a seach using the following criteria: +backspac +35 and looked for the past year. I got a whole page full of hits.
I used the criteria backspac so that it would hit on either backspace or backspacing.
Good searching!!

I have the same combo on mine, currently running 33s... and there is enough room for 35s... though I would stay close to a nuetral backspacing...like a 15x8, with a 4" b/s.. you should be good...
I know Drakemore is running 35s on his rig(another 2nd gen troop), though, I think he had to do a little trimming..

The issue with the 35's will be the tie rods, not so much room in the wheel wells with the lift you have. You might need some trimming/flares/etc, tho. Use the search and see what you find cause I don't really know off the top of my head about the backspacing and such. Think seriously about investing in something like the tie rod shieldz from <a href="www.darlington-offroad.com" target="_blank">Darlington Off-Road</a> and, of course, buy yourself a coupla spares and learn to change them in compromising positions under your front end, sitting in 6 inches of mud. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />
