Default 35's and your turning radius

I am ready to put new wheels on my jk and wanted to see if anyone has had any idea whether wheels with 35x12.5's and 4" backspacing reduce your turning radius any. I'm going to be putting them on an unlimited and it just seems to make sense to me that if you increase the wheel radius that there could be rubbing if you turn the wheels all the way to one direction or the other.

You should be fine with 4" of backspacing. I have 4.5" with 35x12.5's and I only barely rub at full lock/full stuff with the swaybar discoed.
