Unhappy 17" billet specialties help!!!

Long story short i order my rear end from mwc and its 3" off from each side. I think i just made the biggest mistake, i just order the rear wheels from jegs (billet specialties 17x11 with a 4.5 bs) & i dont know if thats the correct bs that i need, please help any info will be appreciated. Need answers asap so i can call back to jegs & cancel my order incase i have the wrong bs

I ran a 7-3/4" backspace on that wheel with a stock rear. So I would order 4-3/4 if it was mine.

Yeah you wouldn't think 1/4" would make a difference but I wouldn't have wanted it any further out. My car is pretty low though so that makes it more noticeable.

Here's a few pics of mine in this thread to give you an idea. Post #95,98

So i called jegs to change the bs to a 4.75 & they told me that they dont have that bs, so now i guess im stuck with a 4.5 i just hope it doesnt stick out to much ��

Give us a call... We are a Billet Specialties dealer and have ordered several customer wheels to fit different rearend packages.

The 4.5 bs will most likely stick out too far, considering if you do the math the 11" wheel should take a 5.0 with a -3 each side narrow.

Ask for the wheel dept. at Jegs, they will order whatever you need. I custom ordered a set of 9.5" street lites for my street tires.
