GUYS HELP!! 16X8 w4.25 OR 15X8 w3.75???

Ok i went to order some Rock Crawler rims only to find that i CANT order the series 51 with a 3.75" Backspacing in a 16X8 rim.... but i can go down to 15X8...

What should i do..

Get the 16X8 w/4.25" Backspacing
OR
Get the 15X8 w/3.75" Backspacing
?????????????????????????????????

Please help... take into consideration my X... Those pics are a little old but i now have a 3.5" lift in back and 2" up front... And im upgrading to P265/75R16 REVO's when i get rims.

With that in mind... what rims should i get?? I currently have the stock 16X7's on there. Will the 16X8 and a 4.25" backspacing with a wider tire still give a wider and more aggressive looking stance?

-- Basically, is the backspacin difference worth dropping an inch in rim size?
