Question about backspacing and widening track

I will be installing a 2 inch spindle lift on my 2000 2wd ranger in the near future. I would like to put some wheels on that have a different backspacing then the standard 4 inch backspacing on ford rangers.

I want to put on wheels and tires that would bring the tire equal to or past the fender so they stick out a little.

I found a wheel (15x8) that has a 3 1/4 inch backspacing and with a 31x10.5x15 inch tire do you think I can make it happen without rubbing?

I was also maybe thinking about trying a 31x11.5x15 inch tire.
