I just ordered a MW 9 rear narrowed 3 inches on each side. I am going to get the billet specialties in 17x11 but I am unsure about the BS that I need to order them in.
I was told 5.5 would fit but I have been reading some and I come up with 4.75 backspacing since the 17x11 fit perfect with a 7.75 bs.....

please advice and discuss this before I pull the trigger,
BTW I saw some white Transam with this wheels and same setup and it looks so damn good....
thanks in advance

 

17x11 7.5" Back Spacing is stock.
Narrowed 3" side. 7.5" -3" = 4.5"
You need a 17x11 4.5" Back Spacing t5o put the wheel in the factory location.

 

so If I get a 4.75, would the rim be tucked in and centered a lot better?
what would you get if this was your set up? I think Im going to be running a MT 315/35/17 in there.,

 

4.5 would put the outside of the tire in the stock location 4.75 would make it stick out further just as josh said

 

ok I see. I will order the wheels with the following specs

17x11 with a 4.5 bs
17x9.5 with ????

Im ready to order them soon.
thanks for your replys.

Actually, the 4.75 would move the wheel in more toward center, not out.

 

ohhhh damn I knew that it will place the wheel towards the center more but I am not sure how much I want to get it to tuck so it wont rub in the inner or outer walls.
