Question Question about backspacing?

Would i have any rubbing issues with a 17"X8" Steel wheel with 5" BS? The wheels are going to be mounted on 35/12.5 Tires, and 3" FT Ultimate Lift.

Thanks AK... Would you know how much space you have between the closest component when at full Wheel lock?

Well, I have the same wheel size that you are looking at with 4.75" of BS and my 35" tires do rub my lower control arms just a hair. Certainly not enough to hear or notice when driving but I have seen a shiney spot develop on my arms that can only be attributed to tire rub.
