Anyone Have 8.5" Wide Wheels with Stepside

I really hate to make another wheel thread. I spent hours reading wheel and Static Drop threads. I have narrowed down my plan to a 3.5/5 Static Drop and I really prefer the Look of 17" Wheels. I found a set of wheels that I do like that are 17X8.5 I can get these with a 4.75 Back Spacing. I can play with Spacers if need be a little, But Wondering if I can fit an 8.5" wheel all around (Specifically in the front). I dont believe the Back is an issue. I do Have the Narrow Rear Axle so I will likely incorporate a spacer back there already.

Optionally I can get a 17X8 with 5.5 Back Spacing. But Iam thinking that would require Larger spacers All around.

I havent picked out tires yet, but I am leaning towards a 28" Diameter. I dont mind keeping all 4 Tires the Same Width and Height.

Does anyone run a similar setup on a stepside? Ive seen alot of 8" Wide Wheels. Possibly someone has an 8.5" width up front in a 17" or maybe even a 20" wheel?

Thanks.
