Need 17x9.5 wheels on a 5-115/5-4.5" pattern I'm trying to order a set of drag wheels for my Grand Prix GXP. The front wheels are 18x8 with a 40mm offset, which from what I assume according to this chart below amounts to about 6" of backspacing.
I'll be using a 275/40/17" or 275/50/17" drag radial so I'm trying to find a 17" wheel that will work on my car. According to the chart above would I need a 6" backspacing or about 19mm offset? I called Centerline and as soon as I told the guy what car it was for he said he didn't have anything that would work, although the website lists their wheels as being available with a 4-7" backspacing.
Anyone have ideas of how to determine what specs I need? Or what wheels may work?

I think Weld Racing is going to have a 17 inch wheel that you can use on your car. I spoke to them a few weeks ago and they are going to have the new RT-S in 17 and 18 inch in the 5x115 and the 5x120mmk bolt circles. Try looking at their website.
