Depends how wide you go as well. What tires are you thinking?

It all depends on what you are running. Engine size, stock gearing, trans, transfer case.

Bo: 2.5 Liter, 4.10 gearing, AX15, NV231, 2 inch budget lift.
Ethan: I'm not quite sure, looking for a 31-32" all-terrain that'll get about 50,000 miles. On a 15 inch wheel. How can I tell how much backspacing I need for rims? Also, should I go 10" or 7"? It's a DD but I want to be able to take it on some intermediate offroad trails without much trouble.

You might lose fifth on the highway shouldn't be bad in the city I have a 4.0 with 3.07s and I'm try to find an 8.8 with 4.10s but you can run them and if you want 50,000 miles your best bet would be BF Goorich All Terrain, they've been known for high mileage fairly good performance on the trails they also have the same 3ply sidewalks as what used to be in the old mud terrain they had.

I'm thinking I'll stay with a 31" tire because the jeep still has 5th gear with these, which is nice. So you think that tire would do well?

I think it would perform great! There's also the pro comp all terrain not the xtreme all terrain just the all terrain that comes with a 50000 mile warranty but its 2 ply sidewalls so there's a chance of it getting punctured easily, but you can take a look at both alot of people run the BFG's and it's for a reason I have them on my jeep right now but I'm taking the set I have off because there only 29's and I'm going up to 32's 
I bought a set of BFG Mud terrains in replacement of the all terrains.

With stock gears? Are you crazy?! Im surprised you even see 4th the guys who run 33's with the I6 don't see fifth with stock gearing, I'm surprised you have seen it with the 35's you gas mileage must suck on top of that, I know I know its a jeep there gas mileage always sucks but I'm saying wayy worse then usual!

Yes with stock gears, and I am in fact crazy. =] When I see fifth gear I'm usually going downhill. Haha not much use for it but to keep the 35's going at a constant speed. And yes the gas mileage is terrible but I love my jeep and don't care. If my gas gauge even worked I bet I could watch it go down while in 4WD. =]
