For the rear wheels, I could have again split the offset evenly from the stock 4" backspacing 8" wheel to a 4 3/4" backspacing for a 9 1/2" wheel. It would have worked fine. I used a 5" backspacing only because it would be easier to shim the wheel "OUT" if there are any interferences, than trying to shim the wheel "IN".

The next size up in a 15" is 10". In a 17" from Team III is 11". Not sure you need to go any larger to get traction but measure carefully if you're going after 315 - 335 tires.
