Default wheel selection help needed

im still new to the jeep scene so im trying to get all this under my belt!

im ordering in the next couple of days 35 x 12.5 in tires, specifically 315/70/17 goodyear duratracs.

im trying to figure out what wheel size and backspacing would work... im looking at a set of 17x8.5, 0 offset and 4.75 in backspacing with a 5 x 5.0 bolt pattern.

do these wheels sound like they will be ok width wise, and with that backspacing does anyone think there will be rubbing issues?

thanks in advance for helping out a n00b.

method racing wheels.

before i bought the wrangler i was trying my damnedest to figure out how i could buy a ford raptor (the methods are big with the raptor people) but decided to go wrangler because i would be able to use the vehicle for what it was designed for a lot more. i dont live anywhere close to where i can drive a full size pickup truck 100mph in the desert. anyways, i didnt realize the methods were even offered in a jeep size until i saw sema pics on face book and saw a jeep with methods.

ill give them a go and if they dont fit ill just space them out some.
