Question Please Help with backspacing?

I'm new to this!

When upgrading to 18" x 9 wheels, 35x 12.50 tires, what is the best backspacing to get?

If I did go to 18" x 8 wheels, what backspacing would I go for then?

I do 80% road and 20% off road.

Thanks for the help.

4.5" bs should be plenty, 5" would work too but then you might rub..
