Default Back space for 8x15inch rim

Currently running steel 10x15 black summit racing rims 4.5bs on 33x12.50x15 tires.

Had them for 2 years. Getalotof compliments but more and more I'm tired of them. They stick to far out.

I want to switch to 8x15 rims with 4.5 inch backspace. Anybody run that size on 33s with no spacers. ??

you should be fine with 33's. Same back spacing on both wheels, you will loose just a bit of inside clearance due to more tire budge.

Steel wheels are more susceptible to fitment issues than aluminum, thus may require less bs. I've had two sets of 15's on my jk
