Ihave 17x9.5 tt 2's on the rear of my lowered 84 with 275 x 50 rubber . Iwas told when Ibought them Ishould go with 5.5 backspacing , which Idid .

Ihave never been completely sastisfied because ICOULD GO AT LEAST 1 IN WIDER ON BOTH SIDES. Ihave also M T street et's Iput on occasionally & iLIKE THE WAY THEY LOOK BETTER -15 IN. WITH 4.5 BACKSPACING .

Enough for that , question is :
1. do any of you run spacers
2. are they safe
3. one of you some time back gave me a web site for a guy who makes them . Does anyone know this site > I lost it

should have got 4.5 bs on the get go , but oh well

thanks in advance for your help
