17 x 8 back spacing question

The search feature keeps screwing up, so here's the ever asked backspacing question:

Gotta set of 17x8 rims for the CST10, off a late model GM truck. Of course the 5in back spacing means that, with tires, it's probably going to rub the wheel wells. In front it looks like we'll clear fine, but in back there's no room to play with. What size spacers would y'all recommend, and from what company? Tire size suggestions for 17s are welcome too.

Re: 17 x 8 back spacing

Get a hold of SCOTI in dallas area. He is the wheel man.He can probably help. He probably has all the specs on it in his head. He is great help on wheels, lowering-etc.
