14 bolt back spacing

[86k5krawler]

hey guys new here.
i searched for hours and could find nothing?
in the middle of doing a 14blt ff swap on my 86k5 and looking for info on what back spacing i should run so that the tire will stick about an inch out from fender.i have 37x12.50x15 mtr's on. your help and info is much appreciated.
thank you, pics welcomed

not 4.25 for sure. there is 3.5 and 2.75/2.50 left in sizes for backspacing. but if you do all 4 then the front will be out farther. so 2and 2 with no rotations in your tires life time.

easy way is van width 14ff wideest stock axle.

I would say the top of my tires stick out about an inch. I have 4.25 back spacing, but I have swampers too so the tread is a little wider. 3.5 would work for sure.

Not sure if you can see in this picture my computer is ****ed up so it is dark for me. I am running 37 MTRs on 15X8 wagon wheels with 4.25 back spacing.
I can get more pics when I get home.
