so I’m wondering id like to run a 35x12.50 superswamper bogger I’m getting new wheels as well I’d like to stick with 15s what offset and the other things would you guy recommend to clear the steering components also would a 15x10 wheel have the tires sit right
 
3.5 ish backspace clears well on 6 lug axles. They stick out just right on a 10" wide wheel imo. If you want the rear to match, you'll need a spacer to make it stick out some.
 
If you ever plan to upgrade to 1 ton rears, then I'd get some 16s or 16.5 instead of 15s....that way you can still use the tires with 8 lug rims if you needed to.

Already have the rears spaced out 2 ins to match
And I won’t be upgrading Axles for another year plus or I might just build my 10 and 12 bolts

Would 15x10 with a 6x139.70 bolt pattern and a -38mm offest be okay for me to clear a pair of 35x12.50 boggers? I have a 4 in lift and the front isnt spaced out any
 
You're probably gonna rub the fenders but it should work. I ran 35's on my truck with a 4 inch lift but I think they were only 9 wide or something. That's a pretty wide, aggressive setup.

it has a 4in backspace would that be to much also could you recommend me a set of wheels that i can run 35x12.50 boggers on if that backspace is to much

I'm looking at 2 similar wheels, one with 3.75" backspace and another 4" backspace. I want my blazer to have a wider stance... any thoughts on 3.5 vs 4? And can you share pics of yours? thx

Less backspace means less space in the back of the wheel. So it sticks out more.
 
I’m going from existing wheel 15x8 with backspace unknown and tires 33x12.5 15R. To a wheels size15x10 with 3.75 backspacing and tires 35x12.5 15R. Hoping that widens up the tires but doesn’t rub. I’ve got a 4 inch lift.
