Default Pro Comp wheels w/TF 2.5" lift

I am getting ready to start my build and I have a question about the parts I am looking at. I want to get a TF 2.5" coil lift and some Pro Comp 1079 wheels on 35x12.50x17 Tires. The description for the lift says that you need 4.5" of backspace or less on the wheels. The Pro Comps have 4.75". Will this cause any issues and if so is there something I can do other than get different wheels?

It might rub, which is why the recommendation is there...You could get wheel spacers or different wheels.

problem is that depending on what tires you run, your rear pair may come into contact with the rear sway bar link ends. if this ends up being the case for you, you can either install wheel spacers or, install the the links on the inside of the sway bar.
