RTS s-71 wheels 17x11

Hey guys I'm looking into buying a set if wheels.... The weld rts s-71 I'm looking to buy has a backspace of 5.7 and the wheel size is a 17x11... I'm aware of the BFH mod and the bump stop.... Has anyone ran a wheels this size? I don't want to run spacers to slap on a set of ZR1 replicas.

Based on the 11" width and backspacing of 5.7" they are going to stick out about 1" of the wheel wells and also hit the tie rods up front.

I forgot to mention these wheel go for the rear only... So maybe a 10.5? Wheel would work for the rear?
