17" Wheels?

I've been thinking about putting H2 wheels on my '94 K2500. They are 17x8.5", I'm not sure of the backspacing. My truck sits at stock height. I'm guessing a 265/70/17 would be about as big as I could go without rubbing on the front? Or will those wheels just be too wide? I've always liked the way those wheels look, but I don't want to spend the money and find out they won't work.
