Question Will these 17x8 wheels work

I'm wheel shopping and may add this American Racing Mojave Teflon finish to my list. Not sure what specs are needed other than 17x8.

My goal is to rid of the steel and chrome and find a lighter wheel that's dark in color and some type of powder coat finish.

The problem with any aftermarket wheel at the moment is backspacing. If you want stock backspacing, you need something like 6.5", which no one offers. Otherwise the wheel will stick out more than stock. This will also cause clearance problems with oversize tires.

Then there is also the contingent of people who are convinced that altering your wheel offset from factory automatically means more stress on ball joints and such, but I won't go there as I'll just get worked up ...
