Got a good deal, 17in wheels. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

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?
