Default Wheel adapter question

I asked this question twice in the lift and tire thread but didn't get a response.I wanted to know what size adapters I should get for my 17 inch Moab wheels. I will have a 3.5 inch lift and 265/70/17 tires. I think the backspacing is like 6" on these wheels so should I get adapters with like a 2" spacing or would 1.25" spacing be enough?

Measure the moabs. They are either 5x5 or 5x5.5. Don't think its the second one. You can get the answer faster via Google

Not sure the backspacing of moabs but i don't think its 6". The 1.25" should work but can't tell you if it'll rub the LCA at full lock

I know they are 5x5's. I was just wanting to know what size spacing I should get to make sure they wont rub.
