I have found a set of wheels that I really like and was wondering about the backspacing I would need. I want to run 17x9.5 in the front and 17x11 in the back. Also, would it be better to run a 17x8 in the front? I know I will probably have to "massage" the inner fenderwell and roll the lip, but I want the wheel and tire to be flush with the fender. I absolutely hate how a wheel looks sticking out.

Thank you in advance for your help!!!!

 

using 5.5" backspacing on the 17x9.5 wheels you will need to grind a little off the tie rod to clearance the wheel. you can also use 5.5" on the rear with the 11" ones. better if you can get the 11" wheels wit h6" backspacing.

 

So it would be better to run a 17x8 up front?
