I just bought a set of 17" stock toyota alloys off craigslist for 100$. Came with lug nuts and centercaps. They look sharp too.

I think its more like 6 inches.

Maybe I've got it backwards. Backspace is measured with a straight edge across the back of a rim, and the measurement taken from that to the mounting surface of the wheel. Right?

Understood. At least on a Toy mini Axle. But for a custom width axle that see's speed a deeper back spacer is good for ditching scrub radius and turn radius. If I were doing my Diamond axle again. I would be going with a 68" WMS and 5" back spacing. It also puts less stress on steering components and the trunion bearings. For reference Im 62" with a 3.5". I would be 3" wider with less stress on the same axle. Its all kind of a compromise.

Anybody who sells the procomps can get them for you in custom backspacing, just depends on whether or not they feel like calling for you.

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.
