I cant find any place where they sell that size in the Torq-Thruster II's. I dont believe they make them in that size that i need. Can anyone help me find this Wheel that will fit my 92. This is for my graduation present

American Racing will make you any backspacing you want. You just need to talk to a distributor.

The wheel you want is a 17x9.5 with a 5-1/2" backspacing and a 5 hole bolt pattern on a 4-3/4" center.

Would a 17x8 be a good wheel? And the bs for that is 4?
