Will this tire width and backspacing rub at full turn/flex?

Sorry to keep posting up questions....thanks for the support everyone!!!

ok...i am heavily leaning toward the 17x9 wheel with 4.75 inch backspace and running the 1.5 inch spidertrax spacers. i just dont think the 4.5 inch bs on a 16 x 10 inch wide wheel (my other option) will prevent rub.

is this making sense? ha.

the 4.75 inch backspace plus the 1.5 inch spacer will net a 3.25 inch backspace.

now, that brings me to another picture request (i will be searching as well):

lets see how far the tires/wheels will stick out beyond the fenders with a 13.5 inch wide tire and 3.25 inch of backspace.

Thanks!!
