Does anyone know of 17" wheels (at least 17x8) with less than 4.5 inches of backspacing. I haven't really been able to find any. If you have seen some, please let me know. I'd like to get 3.5 -3.75" backspacing. Thanks.

Why not get some high quality 1" spacers for the wheels you have?
 






What kind of wheels? Rockcrawlers? alloy? etc..

It is an option, but I'd rather not have to deal with a second set of lugs to chek and tighten. Fewer parts is better.

I'd prefer something like the black rockcrawlers many people have, but I can't seem to find any 17" wheels in any form with the backspacing I'd like. THey coma in 15" size, but I don't want to buy tires too.
 






You could run a 17x9 on 4.5" BS and it would sit about the same as a 17x8 with 3.5-375" BS.

I don't see any 17x8's with less than 4.5" BS.
