Finally got my 6 in. Skyjacker system and now it's time for a new set of wheels for my new set of tires. What backspacing should I use to avoid rubbing??

3.5 to 3.75 inches should be fine. I would completely avoid 4 inchers. One of the reasons I went with the Eagle 589's is because they have 3 5/8 inch backspacing. Anything less than 3.5 will put more stress on wheel bearings, etc.
