Default Backspacing with a 12.5 wide tire..

Hey guys, Whats the best backspacing for a wheel while running a 12.5 inch wide tire? I was told 4?? Anybody have a picture of there 4x4 1rst gen with a 3.5 inch backspace on a 12.5 inch wide tire? Im wondering how far the tire will stick out past the fenders. Thanks..

i'm running a set of 20x12's the front wheels are even with the top of the fender, they might stick out a little bit. The wheels stick out a good bit if youre talking about the bottom of the fender due to the body contour, but it looks nice man... i cant recall what the backspacing was but i was told it was supposed to be VERY agressive... maybe for something like a chevy you cant tuck anything in the wheel well

305's are 12'' so it's almost a 12.50
