I found i would hit my lower control arms with 31's on stock backspace.
A 4.5" bs on an 8" rim is what I'm hoping to go to eventually but for now (and the past three years really) I've got by with spacing out steering stops.
Basically unscrew em, chuck some washers behind and screw em back in. Lovely.

Good luck unscrewing them. Mine was so tight and rusted on I snapped it right off when trying, I only tried the one. I ended up having to weld it back on as there was no way it was coming undone. Easier option is to put a spot of weld on each stop.

Hmm I know some models came with them spot welded in place, possible this was what you had Anthony? Either way, mine came off with a quick tug on a shitty cheap spanner so maybe I was lucky!

Before I made my attempt I was told the welds were there just to lock the nut. Not sure if they are actually welded to the knuckle or whether is was oxidation. Someone else said 18months ago they come off easy, that is why I tried to get mine out. I have an update.
