Default little help please

bought my 09 new, put aftermarket wheels on it at that time. went to a 17 inch wheel. i believe that the backspacing on these are 5 1/4. tire size now is 265/70/17. i want to install 2.5 inch coil spring lift and run 305/70/17s. right now the tires do not stick out past the fenders, they are even with the fender edge. will i have to get spacers to give me the "look" i want? And, will my 5 1/4 backspacing allow for me to run this setup? Im looking for some guidance here and the more i read the more i get confused!

Most require the 4.5" backspacing or less. Sounds like you need wheel spacers to achieve the "look" and lift with no rubbing issues.
