In regards to the first post on this thread, with the back spacing, do you generally have the same backspacking for all 4 wheels?

Generally, yes. All four wheels have the same backspacing.

Can i fit 315/70 R17's or 35/12.50 R17's with no rubbing on 17x8 wheels with 4.5 inch backspacing and 0 offset?

I'm not too savvy with wheel specs so any help is appreciated.
Bump. Looking to pull the trigger on tires soon.

I'd go with 295/70. It's about 34" tall and close to 12 wide. If you had an extra half inch on the level you'd fit a 35x12.50.

How about my gears with those tires, think I'll be ok running 3.73?

I thought about that but BFG KO2's don't come in 295's. They do have 305's but cost more than 315's.

My level kit is the Icon Vehicle Dynamics (formerly Donahoe Racing) adjustable coil overs. They are set at about 2" but have room to go 2.5" or so.

If you can go 2.5 do it. Just for the extra clearance.

Yeah, you'll be fine. Shouldn't feel TOO much of a difference.

Then I should be able to run 315's with my wheels?

don't know how 315 wide with zero offset is going to work for you...
