Got a good deal, 17in wheels.
 
I was at Summit today picking up a K&N filter for our Challenger and noticed the scratch and dent section had been restocked. I wondered around and saw a pair of Soft 8 wheels. $50 each 17x8 5x5 with 4.5in backspacing. I thought about it until I looked under the table. Two more, like someone rolled them under there. Same size and everything. So I scored 4 wheels for $200. Two has scratches, on has a small bend on the lip but I rolled all of them and no wobbles.

So, was wondering if 4.5in backspacing will work on the front of our trucks? And what tire are you guys with 17's running?

8" wheel with 4.5" BS fits very well in front. the same wheel in the rear fits but is set in a little deep, 1/2" spacer or 4" BS looks better. You did good and they will workout.

I like the soft 8's, and they have a race truck vibe when done right
