Default OEM 17inch wheel specs

I can't seem to find the specifications on the stock, 17 inch wheels. Obviously (duh) 17 inch but couldn't find the width, offset and backspace.
I'm replacing them with 8 inch wide, 0 offset wheels with 275/70 17 tires. That gets me to a 32 inch tire. Trying for the widest tires and nearest to factory ride w/ o lift or need for spacers. Not a lot of off road needs in the FL Keys so more road than 'OFF' down here. Thanks in advance.... just want to confirm I didn't screw up on the wheels with 0 offset.

So, I'll be fine with the wheel/tire combo w/o the need for spacers. (0 offset, 4 1/2" rear spacing)?

Yes, you'll be fine. Wheel spacers can always give you a Beefier stance though XD
