Arrow Lookin for wheels and tires

Hey there, I am looking for some 17x9 wheels with a neg backspacing to replace my 15s. Just thought I'd check to see if anyone near northwest Indiana or chicago has anything they wanted to sale or trade.

If you are looking to save a buck, I know Summit has the Crager Soft 8s for around $70 a piece in black and around $100 in chrome. Been a strong, solid, decent looking, no frills steelie wheel for a long time. They did have a deal on shipping too where it was a flat $20 bucks or so for all four last time I checked.

Long been a favorite wheel among the Jeep crowd and it's tough to find a decent looking used wheel for that money...

Negative backspacing? The only wheel I have ever seen in my life close to a negative backspacing would be a dually wheel, and I don't even think they are.

The more backspacing, the further IN the wheel will mount. The smaller the backspacing, the further OUT the wheel will mount.

I would imagine he means a negative offset...
