Just put those on the stock rims,
you could go with a 2.75" backspace
on an 8" rim but they will stick out.

I got the 2.5" backspace and the 33 swampers,
they stick out about 3" but the local cops don't
seem to care, that or I'm not a big offender
in comparison to some of the big trucks that have
lots more rubber sticking out.

Ya it will rub at full turn, adjust the turn stops
and it will only do it at mega compression.

When I ran 235s they could rub at full lock.

My 33s rub at full lock, I mean it's a big tire
and those knobbs sticking out catch the frame
a little, but hey I get lots of looks and it's not a
daily problem, just every now and then.

I run 33x12.50 on 8" rims with 3" backspace. The rear tires dont rub when flexed but my front will rub the frame when flexed and turning. You can set your steering stops to minimize that. The tires stick out about 2" and I dont get hassled by the cops.

Later,
Bill

I also run a 3" bs wheel with no interference. I just had to persuade the wheel wells a little.
