Question Anyone running 5" backspacing

I have an 02 4x4 F250 that I'll be putting a 2-2.5" leveling kit on. I'm looking at a set of eagle Alloy Series 187 17x9's with 5" backspacing.

Taken from AE website
1879-8987 17x9 Polished 8 on 170mm +2 mm 5"(backspacing) N/I 3420 lbs. 27 lbs.

I'll be running Goodyear MTR's 305/70/17 which are 34x12.2 according to Goodyear. Since they are not all that wide I was thinking I could probably get by with that backspacing, but I just thought I'd check with everyone and see. I don't do any offroading, this is just for looks, but I don't want to be in my springs at full lock.

Thanks,
Neil
