Default Back Spacing Question

I have 2010 Wrangler Mountain Edition. I have a 2.5" Pro Comp lift on it. Want to keep the 17" gun metal wheels and purchase 35x12.5 Nitto Trail grapplers. What kind of back spacing if any should be done. Any suggestions would be great, thanks!

1.5's really enhance the look of the JK and a 3'' wider track really affects the handling and feel...
