This link says maximum back space is 4.5 on the elkie with 17 inch wheels, but the ones I want have a back space of 4.57".... Am I too **** or am I right in thinking that.07 of an inch is enough to muck things up?

I hate chrome. Whenever I did a tirw job on chrome rims i'd either cut my hands open and bleed all over the customers ****, or the peeling would be so bad that the tire didnt seal.
