I'm sporting some Centerline Scorpions 17x9.5 rear with 5" backspace wrapped in Firestone Firehawk SZ50's 285/40, and 17x8 front's with 4 1/4" backspace and 255/45 SZ50's. They stay under the fender and appear to be evenly extended from the car.

It appears Summit no longer sells these wheels (where I bought them) and Centerline no longer has them in their catalogue, so I don't know where you could get the style. Personally there are better styles out there. I got the tires from www.tirerack.com when they were on sale. Total cost two years ago was about $1400.

You could go wider on the rear, from what I hear but I don't know the numbers (315/35's?). Maybe even go wider on the fronts but changing the the backspacing (ie going deeper) would give you interference with the shocks.

It's been a while since I've played with the math so if my front wheel backspace numbers are slightly off someone please correct me.

Does tirerack have anything for you? So far, their stuff has not required too many thing to make it work.

How about ZR1/SS wheels from SLP? No spacers needed.
