Huge shoutout and thanks to ak cowboy. Without him I would have put the 17x9's on and probably would be rubbing. But thankfully I'm not rubbing, just racing. Here's the truck now. 315/70/17 BFG AT on 17x8 Vision Raptor Wheels.
Close up look of the combo which I'm really loving.

And it sticks out just a little bit which is what I was hoping for

Nice, not a ton of room, but enough!

Uh, Yes.
Too much caster and you can rub on the rear of the fender. Adjust caster and it moves the wheel forward.
If you're wheel specs cause just a slight amount of rubbing, it's possible that an alignment can clear it up.

No problem, offset and tire size is the most important thing, as you pointed out. I think mine is a rare case. It never occurred to me that I should attempt to correct rub using an alignment until I had to replace my lower control arm bushings and bolts. Then I realized you could adjust caster, and asked the shop to give me as much as I could within spec, worked great
