Aftermarket wheel backspacing

Anyone know of some good looking 17" wheels with around 5"-5.5" of backspacing? Want to lift my wifes truck, add some 35's but prefer the tires not stick out very far. All I have found is the KMC XD 766, and 795. But my wife don't like those styles.

I think the American racing Python in 17" is one of the few with a pretty close to stock backspacing, the Hummer H2 wheel can be modified to fit dodge trucks and also looks pretty good as far as backspacing.

I just got a set of American Eagle Series 186 delivered to my door yesterday for $450, shipped w/centers and lugs. They are a nice looking wheel! Same design as the M/T Classic II's, but much cheaper. They are 17x9's, with 5" backspace, so I expect them to stick out about 2" or so w/my 35's on. Check out the member galleries of hump and 35"_05' for some ideas.

Just remember that those 35" will rub with a stock backspacing. I put 315's on my stock wheels and they touch just a bit. I bet if I pushed that wheel out 1/2" it would be a wonderful thing. . . .
