15 inch 8 lug wheels back spacing

[Redfred]

When finished, my truck will have a 14b ff with disc brake conversion and am also converting the front 10 bolt to 8 lug outers. The wheels im choosing from have anywhere from 2.75" to 4.125" back spacing. Ive read enough to know that these wheels will fit even if it requires a little grinding on the calipers. I like wheels to look deep from the outside with negative offset but I didn't know if 2.75 was a little excessive. Here are the 4 options I found that im choosing from. All are 15x10s. If anybody has any of these, how do you like them?

better yet, does anybody have a link that shows any real world side by side visual comparisons between different back spacing? Im still scrolling through the sticky thread with all the wheel tire combos but most don't mention back spacing on the wheels with a good close up..

I eventually found a few decent images of the different back spacing depths. I'm either going with the first or third link. Now I just need to decide on which look I prefer. I like the Bart wheels with less holes but I keep thinking of a few horror stories I've read about with dealing with that company. The 3.5" back spacing I think looks petty good with a 15x10 wheel and 35s.

I just realized I'm having a conversation with myself. I think my wife is rubbing off on me

I had 3.5" back spaced 8" wide wheels for awhile, they looked good and I was getting compliments now and then about the look of the truck and it's stance.

These are my 15x10 pro comp 8 lug wheels, I went with the 2.75" backspacing to help clear the ford dual piston calipers

What is the model name and part number for those? Do you know if they come in chrome? I've noticed with some of the pro comp steel wheels that it's impossible to find some that I've seen people have from a while back. I thought that maybe they make temporary runs and then discontinue some. I've never seen ones with 7 holes like yours. I like that look but I haven't seen those before and I've searched the Internet ALOT.

No help here on the BS, but 10" wide wheels bring the SUCK if you air down with a 12.5 tire.

The part no was 87-5182. I just bought them a year ago from 4wheelparts and was no problem getting.
I'm not sure if they come in chrome or not.

For a reference on backspacing my old 6 lug wheels were 15x10's with 3.5" backspacing.
