Call my cynical, but I'm always worried when somebody who's trying to sell me something says "it'll fit with no problems..."

Seriously, if the backspacing is about 3.5" there should be no problems with the wheels. Of course, the wheel vendor doesn't know what size tires you're planning to run. A 235/55-17 or 245/50-17 should be about right. Both are commonly available sizes at www.tirerack.com (but not cheap).
