Ok I am putting in my orders in next week and need some help on backspacing. I found a set of panther EMR359s for cheap, however the most BS they come with is 4.26". With the CST 6-8", set at 8", with a set of toyo mt 37/13.50/17 rub??

You might have some rubbing. The proper back spacing is about 4.5.. IIRC.. So you might want to consider another rim so that you can allow for this. Good luck..

I was talking to a few tire guys around here and they urged me to go with a wider wheel anyway for that sized tire. So does anyone know of a nice wheel 17x9 or 17x10 with a decent amount of backspacing?
