I am considering buying the below wheels but from a guy locally for about half of retail price. I've read what I can find on backspacing requirements but still a bit unsure if these will work without adapters/spacers. TIA.

How are you going to make a 6 lug work with your 8 lug? That link is to a six lug.

Link still goes to a pic representing the wheel, but that's not a big deal, it's just a representation.

You need to be specific on which size wheel are you looking at because the specs differ from wheel to wheel. The specs look like they even differ depending on which 17" wheel you choose, -18 offset with 4.5 backspacing, or 6 offset with a 5.5 backspacing.

What are the specs of the used wheel you're thinking of buying?

Stewart,

The ones available locally are 17x9.5 w/-18 offset.

Update: wheels sold to someone else while I dragged my feet. Bummer.

On the flip side I'm OK with not having to shell out $1k+ on new tires.
