Default Do I Need Spacers?

So I just purchased 35x12.5 17 Feirce Attitude M/T and the Mickey Thompson Black Classic lock 17x9 with a 4.5" backspacing. Some of the other mods I have are 2.5" Skyjacker lift and the bushwacker flat fenders. So my main question is will I need wheel spacers or do I have enough room? And if I do need them who would you recomend?

You have enough back spacing, but you will need to trim or remove the black plastic air dam thats under the front bumper. It only takes a few minutes to trim the wings off of the dam. I have the same tires. So far I have about 8000 miles on them and I'm very happy. they work great all around. Enjoy
