Default 35" Tire question

I have a 2008 Rubicon and I want to put on the wheels 175 Ultra MotorSports Rogue wheel that is 16 X8. it says offset +10 a backside setting of 4 7/8. What is the least I could get by with if I went with the Toyo 315/75R16 which is a 34.9 X 12.9 inch tire?
Les Schwab said they had something to level the jeep that would give me 2" in the front and 1" in the back but said that wouldn't be enough. Would it be enough if I didn't take it off road?

Most of the lift mfg's are suggesting no more than 4.5" BS.

You could also try this one in the FAQ's:

Q: What back spacing will I need on my wheels in order to clear 12.50 wide tires?
