wheel size and backspacing

What size wheel and backspacing do I need to run 315 75 r16s with a 2 inch lift so they don't rub. I have them on the stock wheels but want to get the right size becuase the rubbing is driving me crazy. Will 16x8s with 4 inches of backspacing be enough or do I need more? Thanks.

With a wider wheel you will have more rubbing so if you rub now with 7" wide its not going to help and with a bigger one.

Need to go higher. My 35's rubbed on my 4.5" now I'm at 6"

You can also shim your bumper out or pull your wheel wheels back to help.
