What backspacing should i use

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 14-Mar-02 AT 08:38 PM (EST)]I just put a set of 32x11.5 BFG all terrains on my 85 bronco. they are mounted on 15x8 inch rims with 5" backspacing. i am getting some new rims soon, and i was wondering if i should get rims with less backspacing, or if i should just get the same. i was thinking about 4" or so. also, is there any real advantage going from an 8" rim to a 10" rim besides being able to fit wider tires in the future?

thanks

i like the look of the tire on 10" rims, makes them bigger/wider. the wheels i have have 4" back spacing on them and i am running 36x12.5's and they dont rub a thing.
