Default Is anyone running 17x10 or 17x11 rims?

I am looking for 17x10 or 17x11 rims to mount some DR's on, but I need to know what back spacing, everything I am seeing is 6.8" and I want to makesure that will work. Some pictures if you have them would be fantastic.

I don't believe anyone makes a 17x10 or 11 with the correct backspacing. Plenty of people put the M&H 325/45/17's on a 17x9. What tires are you looking at?

Ford just had to change the offset in 05, thanks Ford!

Hey Moose,

I am looking at the P315/35R17 MT ET II Street DR's. I have had a couple of wheel dealers say I can run the 03 -04 cobra rims, and they have the correct back spacing, but I am not going to shell out the money until I see someone else doing that. How are the M&H tires? I heard they run small, thats an very big tire for that rim.

I have Boost ZE 17x10 rear wheels with 7 1/4 inch backspacing and they fit perfect. I run the M&H 325/45/17 on them.

Thanks! Those are very nice, and way too much for me. I will be using the rims and DR's as a track only set, so they don't need to be anything special.
