Alex,
Just ordered Colorado Custom wheels last week. For 17x8 you'll want
5.75" backspacing. For 17x9.5 that I'm using for the rear it will be
6.25" backspacing. That combo of wheels came in right about $2100(no
tires though).
Budnik is another option. They'll know the backspacing if you call them.
Gary Pinkley has Budniks on his DAK.
Good luck.
