32 tall or 11 wide is about the limit on a stock suspension.
taller/wider than that and you will see rubbing.
Personally, and I'm not trying to tell ya what to do with your truck,
but I think wheels that stick out way the hell past the fenders, look
really bad. I have 31x10.5x15 Kumho mudders on Chrstine, the wheels are
backspaced about 3 to 3.5 inches outwards. I've never really been
thrilled with it, but even with a 3 inch body lift, it was what I had to
do to keep from having tire rub.

Thats a fairly good photo that shows how far out the wheels sit from the
fenders. I think if you went 4.5 inches outwards back space... its
going to stick out too far and look.... different.
