Another tire/rim combo fit question

I just got an AS 2.5" kit installed on my 05 f150 2wd. I am looking to put on 17x9 rims along with toyo a/t tires. I wanted to know if you think P285/70 (32.7x11.4) will fit without/minor rubbing or would the P245/75 (31.5x9.8) be a better route to go with?

I have changed my specs. How about a 17x8.5 rim along with 295/70 Nitto Terra Grapplers. Would that be a good fit with the 2.5" leveling kit?

It will depend on the backspacing on the wheels.

The backspacing is 5 5/16" (+15). Will that work? I have no idea what kind of backspacing is recommended or any of that.

They will probably fit, but it will be tight. The oem wheels are 7.5 inches wide with 5.5 inches of backspacing so those wheels will stick out about and inch farther than the stock wheels.
