Wheels advice needed
I'm sad to post such kind of question because wheels advice are already discussed zillion of times but well, I'm confused and I'm trying to avoid a wrong purchase.
I need your help in selecting the right Pro Comp 7028 wheels for my JK Rubicon
http://www.procomptires.com/truck-jeep-wheels/pxa-series-7028-wheels.aspx
I actually run the stock 17" wheels and tyre.
I'm interested to know if the 7028 as is (without spacer) allow enough clearance to avoid rubbing and/or problem when using a 2.5" lift and if it is within factory flare limit (no rubber outside, strictly forbidden here).
Which P/N do I need ?
Thanks for any help!

17x8.5, 5 on 5 Bolt Pattern
Backspace = 4.75 in.
Max Load = 2200lbs
Finish = Flat Black
Hub Centric = No
Offset = 0mm
Part No. = PXA7028-78573
^^^^ that's the one ^^^^
8.5" wide may be a little bit too wide for the stock size tire width, but it should be fine until you're able to get some new tires that are a bit wider

Thanks for the advice, I planned to use the above wheels with the stock GoodYear SilentArmor 255/75R17 tyres mainly for street/highway usage and very light offroad.
I own a second tyre/wheels set for offroad use:

What are the possible problem running stock tyre with this 8.5" wide wheel ?
