I just purchased a 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 new body style. I am putting a leveling kit with coil spacers on it, I am looking to upgrade the rims and tires. I have Moto Metal 951's picked out. My question is...what exact measurement do I want...backspacing and such...and what is the maximum tire size I could run? I was planning on 17 by 9 rims.

Thanks for the help.
