15x10's vs. 15x8's For 35's

[Trapper50cal]

Well, when I bought my 35 MTR's they were on 15x10 black steelies with 4" BS, so to get them on I bought some .25" spacers and off I was. But I didn't like how far they stuck out and I was getting some rubbing. So, I bought some 15x8 Fauxbeads with 3.75" BS thinking I could run w/o spacers. Not so lucky, fronts still hit the calipers. So I put all the .25" spacers back on but even with them on I lost a lil more than 1.75" worth of width all the way around.

Here are the visuals:

What is the correct backspacing from the factory. I was going to order 15x8's and my guy at 4wheel parts said that the system indicated 3.5 backspacing was optimal.
