Re: Backspacing for TJ\'s
At full lock, 4.5" will clear barely and might bump under heavy compression. If you will be doing some serious off-roading or running with low air pressure, go with the 15x8's. They will be lighter and less likely to get beat up on the trail. Depending on which tire you run, with a 10" wide rim, the rim will be wider than the tread section - most tires are rated at the center section (the bulge between the tread and bead) not the tread width.
