Default Couple wheel/tire questions

I've been running 315/70/17 Goodyear MTR's on my stock rubicon wheels since forever and am planning on replacing the tires and wheels.

I don't have any rubbing issues now...anyone know what backspacing I should be looking for to match what I've got now?

Also...I'm into really basic wheels, nothing flashy (cragar soft 8 in black, square d's in black, etc). Any suggestions on other wheels that fit that bill? Procomp 97 are sort of like that, right?

You mean the 305/70R17 MTR?

And steel wheels are cheap and strong. however, they can be heavy. Discount Tire Direct is a sponsor on here and should be helpful with your questions.
