They need to make a 17x9 inch wheel with the correct offset for the fronts as well?

thanks,

If I'm not mistaken though .. they are not the right backspace .. you have to actually use spacers etc ... these wheels don't have to be replicas .. I am just courious who has wheels out there that are the correct offsests ..

thanks,

I purchased 2 replica 10.5 inch rears off ebay for $395 plus shipping brand new. I put the stock center caps in them and the look just like the fronts except alot better because i have 315/35/17's in them. :)

17's offset require spacers?
Both have same offset, only the 18's give you a little more room when the suspension is unloaded. When a wheel fits fine always check the total travel of suspension to see if it really fits fine. You never know when somewhere, someday your rear suspension will be unloaded and that IRS bolt dig's right into your tire and pops it. :uh oh:

You dont need spacers with 18x10.5s or 17x10.5s. It's when you go with a huge tire like a 315 when you start running into problems. If you put a 295 on the 10.5 rim you would be good to go.
