Default backspace

Found a place that has the Pro Comp 7005s but they only have the 17x9 with the 4.75 backspace. Gonna use 35s(KM2 or Toyos) and may eventually go to 37s. I have been told with that backspace there might be rubbing. Any thoughts or first hand knowledge with this size wheel?

with a 37x12.50, you might be able to squeak by especially if it's something like a bfg. if you get a 37x13.50 like toyo makes, you will have rubbing at a full turn without the addition of wheel spacers.
