Default 17" wheel advice
Every wheel I have found that is a 5x5.5 all have around 4.5in to 5.5in of back spacing. I plan on running 315s and this seems like it would rub according to my research online.

Does anyone know anything about larger wheels back spacing? Or know of a 17" wheel that has less back spacing?

Thanks

What's your back spacing or width and offset?

And you can run 325s on a 8" wide wheel?
