86 stock 15x7 aluminum rim is 15mm offset = 4.59" backspacing

by how much. i think stock is 3.75 so less of the number the more it sticks out like 2''bs will be more than 2.5 if i understand it.

  yes you are understanding correctly

I like the wide tire with a wide rim.
15.50 with 12" wide rim.

I think I am going to go with a 33x10.5 or a metric equivelant.  Either on the 16" wheels I have on my truck or on the 15" tacoma wheels.  Better gas mileage.  More pressure between the tires and the ground.  I found a set of BFG A/T on sale for $153 a peice new.  Hopefully my street tires will be bald enough to need them by the end of this summer.
