Wheels Tire Combo Question.

Wheels Tire Combo Question.
I'm looking at getting a set of 17's for my '98 Ranger 4x4 and I'm pretty sure I won't have any fitment issues, but just want to double check. I looked at the sticky at the top of the page and I think I'll be fine. I listed the size of the wheels/tires below. I currently have 15's with 235/75/15 Firestone M/T's.
17X8.5 5-114.3 -6MM
P265/70R-17 = 31.61 10.43 Terra Grappler AT's.
Thanks

Well if I did the conversion right in my head the backspacing would be about 4"
DISREGARD=> Also, Im sure you know this but, just incase you didnt realize it, that rim has a different bolt pattern and will require the use of adapters.

and that rim will have a 4.5 inch backspacing, the same as stock
this is what my truck use to look like with 265-70-17

But as for the backspacing shouldnt it be 4" since it has a negative offset from the center line? 4.25" - 0.25"?

that link is a chart of offset to backspacing conversion, if you look at 8.5" wide rim at -6mm offset, the chart says that = 4.5" backspacing
as far as rubbing goes, it will rub if you hit a bump while cornering, but under normal driving conditions it does fine with no rubbing

Backspacing = (Rim width + 1")/2 + Offset

Damn it, they just called and said that they aren't making those wheels in 17's anymore... So I'm either getting the same wheel's in 16's or the MB72's in 17s...
