Default Backspace enough???

Was looking at 1.5" spacers so i could use stock wheels powder coated. I found some Racelines that I like that are 4.75" backspacing. I am going to run 2.5" bb with trimmed fenders and 35's. My goal is to not use wheel spacers....is 4.75" backspace enough??

I have 4.75BS wheels on a 2.5 TF coil with stock fender flares. When I was running the stock bumper with the airdam it rubbed on full turn a tad on the plastic airdam but you can remove it quite easily. You'll likely need to trim your rear pinch seam and rock rails as well but other then that should be good to go.
