Yet another backspacing question

Yes, I know, not another one of these but I swear I searched first and couldn't find an answer. Best I came up with was "depends on what you have". So, here's what I'm looking for...

I have a 13 JK Rubicon with a Teraflex 2.5" coil lift, front adj track bar. I have spacers on now for my stock wheels and I want them gone.

I'm looking to pick up a set of ProComp 7069 17x9 5x5 with 4.75" of backspacing. I plan on going with either Maxxis Trepador M8060 35x12.5 or ProComp Xtreme MT2 35x12.5.

With a 4.75" backspacing, am I going to have any issues with rubbing? If there's going to be a chance of it, is there anything that can be done other than spacers? If not, what backspacing should I be looking for in a wheel? I want a simple looking wheel like the 7069. I saw that MT has one but the caps look like crap to me.

No problems with spacers for 25k miles on my stock rubicon wheels but ready for new ones and want to get rid of the spacers. You will get mixed feedback on spacers, some say they are ok as long as you check them every rotation others will say they are dangerous.

I've been real happy with mine so I'd say if you are going to do the rotations yourself, go for it. Do spend the money and get spidertrax, they are the best out there.
