Default Help With Tire and Wheel

Hi I am a newbie in search for a little help. I have a stock 07 unlimited and i'm looking at some new tires and wheels. I'm goinf to install a terflex leveling kit and would like to run 285/70/17 tires. the problem is with the wheels and backspacing. Wheels i'm looking at are 17 x 9 but not sure what to get for backspacing so the tires won't rub and also will not stick out pass the fenders. any help would by great. thank you.

OK, thanks. I would asume that the back spacing would be the same on a 17x8 wheel?
