what wheels do not require spacers?

ok i want to know what rims are available (17x8) that DONT require backspacing....i keep finding rims that i like, that are within my price range, but then i find out i'll need to spend another $300 on spacers.

(i've done a search, but i can't really find any info on this unless i search for a certain style wheel, and i don't have any wheel in mind)

so if you know of some rims that don't require spacing, please let me know

also: how much do you think i could sell 4 17" Iroc rims in very good condition for? not the tires, just the rims

any 2 piece billet wheel can be made in any offset. cast wheels are going to be harder.

boyd coddington sells some nice rims that are custom offset , and they arent too expensive if you stay with the cast series.

would the stock back tires fit on a 9" rear wheel or would they be too skinny?

what backspacing is needed for our cars?
