what backspacing for 17x11 street lite??
im getting ready to order my set finally and was curious what everyone thought i should do for backspacing im thinking 6.75-7.00....... this is a 17x10.5 4th gen torque thrust m with 7.5 backspacing with a 3/4 inch spacer which puts it at 6.75ish

and this is a 15x10 with a 6.5 backspacing....

Were you running 315s on the 10.5 wheels? What kind of inner fender mods did you have to do when you were around 6.75 backspacing
