I fitted 36*12.5-15 ETII on my disco on 15*8 American Racing wheel which offer 31/2" backspacing....The ET"II however have an overall width of 13.2" which limited my steering a lot it is pain in the ass to parallel park this truck or manouever in tight ditches....
Are any after maket 15*8 with more backspacing...15*10 might result in tyre coming off at low pressure
I do not want to go with wheel spacer as they tend to damage wheel bearings....
Looking foward for any helpful feedback

I know this guy in Lebanon that has 15x10" rims with MASSIVE offset and hyfro assist steering and he has NO issues with bigger tires

+ he's getting weld-on beadlocks in June
You should listen to him, give him a call

Jay,
You need less back spacing, not more, to get the tyre further away from the radius arm.
As far as damage to wheel bearings caused by wheel spacers. The load on the bearings is, in part, determined by the offset of the wheel. But if the same offset is achieved by using wheel spacers, or by offsetting the rim by changing the backspacing, then the effect on the bearing load will be exactly the same.
Personally I would change the wheel backspacing rather than use spacers, but this preference is because I don't like how the forces are transferred through the wheel studs. However people do use them with success, so my concerns my be unfounded.
