17x10 Wheels

I am looking to get 17x10 wheels for my truck. Right now I have 315 BFG's on stock rims and it doesn't rub. I was wondering what backspacing I would need to keep it that way when I put the new rims on?

I don't have the answer to your question. But I'm looking for a set of wheels myself what 17x10 are you looking at? The wheels I'm possibly getting are 17x9 w/ 5 in. back space. I have a 2 in. leveling kit and I'm told the tires only rub on sharp turns uphill. Don't know how sound this advice is. I got it from a thread I posted on here last night.

You want 4.5 inches of backspacing or real close to that. 5 inches is probably going to be good as well. Don't go less than 4.25 for sure.
I don't know if they will rub or not. If they do, it will be on the rear of the front fenders or possibly the air dam, if you have not trimmed it/removed it yet.
