How much Backspacing

SO im hoping to buy some Mickey Thompson Classic II's in the near future, and was wondering how much backspacing i can get away with. I was looking at the 4.4375 (can also get 3.75), which will have a 33x13 TSL wrapped around it. right now the TSL's are on an American Racing cheapo black steel rim, with i dont know how much backspacing, but they dont stick out at all from the sides. There is no lift, but some of the fascia has already been trimmed to fit the TSL's anyways. With the 4.4375 backspacing, will i have to worry about the tire rubbing any drivetrain components int he front end on turns, or should i get the 3.75 in? They are 16x10's btw. Thanks, Zach

You want 4.5 inches of bs, which is what your oem wheels have.
