Default 33's, 4 doors rubi springs-shocks.

I have a 2 door 11 sport S. I'm going to get some 33x12.5x 16 mtr/ Kevlar and wheels next week. I have a set of rubi shocks and springs ready to go on. My question is, what backpacking do I need on the wheels to avoid rubbing? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Like the other guys said it depends on the wheel you are going with. I went with procomp steel wheels and I got 4" back spacing.no rub.

First of all, thank you for the quick replies.
Secondly, i'm going with a 9" width wheel and was thinking about 4.5" of backspace. Sounds like that might work out fine.

Typo on first post. 33X12.5x15 is the tire size.

Kinda wondering if maybe a little less backspacing might still work to reduce stress.
