looking for spoke wheels with little backspace - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Wondering if anyone has ideas to help with my wheel search- I am wanting to run 17" to 20" spoke wheels on my 71 Blazer-TTO, Boss 338, Rocket Booster, or similar. I can find good alternatives for the fronts, but on the back I cant find anything that has the short backspace (3" or so) so that most of the dish is out-I dont want to run spacers on the rear. I really like the rocket booster hyer silver, but with 5" backspacing on a 9" wide rim, it doesnt have the look I want. I can have TTO custom made but that doubles the price. Does anyone know of a 18 or 20" wheel that is 9 or 10" wide and has a 3" backspace? TIA

Have you checked here. 4 inch bs is the best they can do.
