17x8.5 4.75 backspacing
First post, bought a 2015 JKU 2 weeks ago. Looking at the method fat five. 17x8.5 with 4.75bs is the only size apparently ( possibly on the way out? ). Probably looking at a 285/70, 295/70 or 285/75 tire. Plan is to start with a leveling kit. Should I be ok as far a rubbing goes?
Any other suggestions on a good looking simple five spoke wheel. Only things I like so far are the fat five and the Quadratec Rubicon xtreme wheel...

I'm running Method NVs 17x8.5 (4.75 backspacing), with 315/70x17 Goodyear MTR Ks, and a Teraflex 2.5in lift. I have vary minor running on the frame with the back of the tire at full stuff with the tires turned full lock. I am only running 1.25in additional bumpstop. An extra 0.25in of bump stop, or a washer or two in the steering stops will solve my problem. You shouldn't have any issues with your set-up.
