I am looking at buying some 17x8 wheels, with -13 offset and 4.5 backspacing. Will these work on both the front and back as far as clearance? I know I may have to massage the rear lips but I was more concerned with the fronts fitting. Any help would be great.

I did some measuring on the front and the spindle arm would be close, but the 17" rim may clear it....anyone???

I did some searching in the sticky, and it seems there are a few others using the same wheel size and they look to fit. maybe one of you will chime in to see if there are any mods that need to be done.

Here you go:

Glad you guys like it. I agonized for days over a wheel and tire size but I think we got it right. The front wheels are 17x8 with 4.5 bksp with a 255x40x17. The rears are 17x9 with 5" bksp with a 275x40x17.
