Default Backspacing again! I know...

I posted this in the show and tell earlier by accident. Moving it to there for a better chance at getting an answer. Moved from a 2008 JKU into a brand new 2016 JKU. I want to move to 285/75/17 with pro comp 7069 17x9 wheels. I just want a list of definitive yes/no answers of whether I need a spacer. Like this rim but don't want to do spacers again. I don't have a lift but will eventually move to a TF 2.5 BB.

A list of 'definitive' yes/no answers?

What is the backspacing on the rims? What is the actual, measured, height and width on the tire? Will you be disconnecting? Do you have stock flares, or flats?

The rim is a 17x9 with 4.75 backspacing and -6mm offset. The tire is a 285/75/17 toyo at2. Tire is rated to be 33.9 inches tall and 11.2 inches wide. Jeep is bone stock. It was purchased brand new about 2 weeks ago.

I am running ProComp 7069 17x9 4.75BS with 37 X12.50x17 Pitbulls. It barely rubs on one side control arm. You will be just fine with the smaller tires.
