I ordered 17x11 for the rear. I'm narrowed 3 inches per side, and my backspace is 5.25.......so I'm assuming that yours would be 8.25 not a 100% tho hope this helps

I am looking to put 17x11s on the rear and have heard of your BS/narrowing combo working well. As you narrow the rear end less the BS increases; or as you narrow the rear the BS decreases proportionally.
A narrow of 2.5" would have a BS of 5.75". So if this theory holds your stock axle without narrowing would need 8.25" (no expert here).
As already said talking to MWC is the best bet as they do this work everyday.

Haven't received my narrowed rear end yet? But I did a lot of research and found that is the best LOOKING fit. I will post pics of my setup when it's all done. Good luck.
