Ahhh the perks of working at a tire shop! Mounted these up the other day and they work pretty well with my 3.5" RE lift. Well, with a fair amount of trimming I did previously.

No bumpstops in the rear as of now. I need to work on that.
And as far as the backspacing... i'll have to get back to you, I don't know off the top of my head, I bought the wheels a long time ago.

I don't have any problems as far as stuffing the tires... I put it on my friends RTI Ramp and can get the fronts all the way up into the inner fender.
 
Here's a pic of my '88. It's on 33x14 boggers. 3" lift in front about 4" in the rear. It's trimmed up pretty high but it still rubs. Wheels are too narrow (15x8) w/ 3.75 bs. I've got some 2" coil spacers that will hopefully solve that problem.

What tire shop do you work at?

A lot of your rub is probably coming from your width. You got 1.5" on me. And also my lift is advertised at 3.5" but in reality it sits over 4"
The tire shop is Discount Tire in Renton
 
Looks awesome!

Did you trim the inner fender. That thing is pretty sharp and will cut your tire up pretty good. I'm guessing you did since it looks like you know what your doin.
 
No I haven't trimmed the inner fender yet because it was never a problem with my 31's.
But I definitely see the 33's as being a much more likely chance of cutting, so the inner fender trim is next on my list.

Spring spacers wont help with your rubbing problem. You need to add more bump stop.

This is probably question. What do you guys mean by inner fender? Are you talking about the pinch weld were the two come together??

Yes. The big seam that is on the rear of the inner fender well that sticks out about an inch. It needs to be trimmed & or beaten flat with a BFH to avoid slicing up your rubber like a carving knife when your tire is at full compression.
