It all depends on what size tire you are going to run. I have 17x9 wheels with a 2.5" offset with 285/70/17. I had to install a 2" leveling kit to keep them form rubbing the bumper and the fender well

Hey if you go to the manufacturer's website of who ever makes the lift they will tell you what would be acceptable for rims and tires. I think rough country recommends a 4.5 to 5 on backspacing depending on the rim.
