Backspacing ? on TT II's 17x11

OK, so I have an opportunity to buy some 17x11 TT'IIs CHEAP, but the offset is 5.5, not 7. I'm almost positive this will not work with out a spacer. Can anyone confirm I must have the 7 in backspace, or the spacer?

Thanks.

Im pretty sure you will need a spacer. I don't know what size but I think you will need one.

If you put a spacer on them then they'll only stick out more. If you are planning on building a "wide body" T/A those would be the ones to get, haha. Otherwise, i'd keep searching
