Are CJ wheels going to have enough backspaceing for 11.5" wide tires?  or am i going to need wheel spacers to?

I've never taken a close look at anyone running CJ wheels, so I can't tell you for sure.  I would say that you most likely do not need wheel spacers.  My 33x12.5's are on 10" wide aftermarket rims, and they look to have a little more offset than CJ's, but RealRedSammi has 35x12.5's on rims that hardly have any offset, and he barely rubs.  with 11.5 wide tires, you should be fine.  Hopefully someone who actually has CJ rims will give you a definite answer.

From what I've seen, old cj wheels have around 3.5-3.75" of back spacing. I'm running 10.50" wide tires on 15x8" cj rims and no frame rubbing...

Ill make a stop by less and see if they have any used tires and how much they want for them.

LOL but I will still mount them.

I did a test fit of some 32x11.50's and it cleared the frame easily (3.75" BS furd wheels).
