Default Wheel help

Am currently running 315/70/17 on my stock rubi wheels with Spidertrax spacers. Long story short should I go for a 17x8 or 17x9 wheel for my new wheels?? The backspacing is 4.75 and -6mm offset. These are pro comps. Simple but what I want. Thx gents.

I run 17x9 simply because my tires say they should be run on 8.5" minimum (they're 12.5"). But honestly, either would be fine since the backspacing is the same and you're talking .5" on each side for the rim. My rims are 4.5" backspacing for the record.
