Default Those with narrowed rears, question on back spacing

Looking to order a MWC Fab9 with a total of 4" taken off the width. My question is what are you guys running for back spacing on a 17x9.5" wheel? I want the wheel to sit out as far as possible, I dont mind rolling the lips, Im looking at welds 17" RTS specs and from the math Ive done 17x9.5 with 5.3" back spacing is my best bet?

I like how the 17x11s look with the 50mm offset (7.97 bs) a 17x9.5 with 50mm offset would have 7.22 backspace, then 2" of narrowing 5.22, closest weld has is 5.3"
