I currently have a set of wheels with 4 7/16 back spacing, I know that I will need spacers to mount them. My question is what is the minimum size wheel spacer that i will need to avoid any issues?

What size tires? That is roughly a 4.5" backspace, correct? You can run 35x12.50's on those rims, assuming they have the correct bolt pattern.

If you do want spacers, you will probably be better off with the kind that have two sets of bolts (1.5" Spidertrax or equivalent), not the thin ones that sandwich between.

I have Black Rock Dunes with 5 in BS and run 305/70/16 tires and no lift without any problems what so ever. I would think 4.75 BS would be fine for anything up to 35 in tires.
