Default Yet another wheel question

Ok here goes. I'm new and hope someone can help. I have 07 Reg cab s/b with factory 17" alloys. I installed 2.5" levelling kit and 315/70/17's. Looks great but I'm going to install fender flares so need to bring the wheels out about 2". I'm going to use a set of 2" hubcentric wheel spacers which should do the trick. My question is this .... I'm also going to order a set of chrome rims to use for the summer and was wondering what offset and back space to get that I can use the 2" spacers for both factory and summer wheels. I'm looking at 17x9 rims. I don't want to be taking the spacers off and on everytime I switch wheels. In short, what specs in a 17x9 will match my factory 17" wheels. Hope you can make sense of this.

If you can, try to stay away from the spacers, especially because you already have a 2.5" leveling kit on there putting added pressure on your ball joints. I might be wrong though.
